| Description: |
With death looming, Jacques Derrida - the father of 'deconstructionism' - revisited his life's work in a moving final interview with journalist Jean Birnbaum, in which he reflects on a long career challenging the tenets of European philosophy. The contemporary meaning of his work is examined, and his many political activities are discussed. |
| Synopsis: |
With death looming, Jacques Derrida, the world's most famous philosopher-known as the father of "deconstruction"-sat down with journalist Jean Birnbaum of the French daily Le Monde. They revisited his life's work and his impending death in a long, surprisingly accessible, and moving final interview. Sometimes called "obscure" and branded "abstruse" by his critics, the Derrida found in this book is open and engaging, reflecting on a long career challenging important tenets of European philosophy from Plato to Marx. The contemporary meaning of Derrida's work is also examined, including a discussion of his many political activities. But, as Derrida says, "To philosophize is to learn to die"; as such, this philosophical discussion turns to the realities of his imminent death-including life with a fatal cancer. In the end, this interview remains a touching final look at a long and distinguished career. |
