Paperback. Zustand: Fair. 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.

In the end, this interview remains a touching final look at a long and distinguished career. …
