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.
