The undecidability that is involved in the concept of the decision itself. In this respect, the suggestion is that a decision cannot be wise, or posed or composed
Drawing on Kierkegaard's, leap of faith as an instance of that 'mad leap; the decision requires an undecidable leap beyond all prior preparations for that decision, I mean how could you possibly know what is going to happen?
As a child (8 or 9 years of age, I recklessly jumped off a Bridge in Dublin into the 'Dodder' river. as an innocent Catholic I had a blind faith that all would be well, according to Derrida this blind faith is necessarily 'mad' and not just the example regarding the conversion to religious faith that preoccupies Kierkegaard, in his leap to that tenuous 'thing' called 'faith'.
