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.
