In my doctorate thesis, I have discussed the notion of the experience of the ethical and
its political consequences. In this context, I have pointed to the central strategy of
Kantian ethics that is called transcendental strategy. Transcendental strategy relies on a
concept of causality, which unlike the causality that governs the laws of nature, arises
from freedom in its cosmological meaning. I have discussed Heideggerian challenge to
this concept of causality from an ontological point of view that gives rise to totalitarian
political consequences. In relation to Heideggerian challenge, I have argued that
Derrida&rsquo / s critique of Heidegger gives rise to democratic political consequences that
reconcile the origin of ethics with fiction through utilization of the transcendence of
transcendentality. Thereby, I have argued that experience of the ethical for Derrida
induces to similar political consequences with holistic pragmatism.
