Derrida never claimed to be a Marxist,-what's the fuss?
Fred Engels said once that each generation of philosophers try arduously to soar higher in the sky than the previous, and here although one can see the value in the Left engaging with such a formidable thinker as Derrida, I would think the Left had better things to ...

O Friends, There Are No Friends

Of Grammatology
Jacques Derrida
The Johns Hopkins University Press

Push through it
When I first tried to tackle this book I was a first year undergrad philosophy and logic student - I declared Derrida my arche-enemy. Three years later I am devoted to Derrida. I eventually managed to push down the frustration (and at times, the blind rage) I felt ...

A great (unfinished) work
This book assembles the entirety of Derrida's 1997 Cerisy address on the topic of that conference (dedicated to discussing his work) "The Autobiographical Animal." That said, it still remains an unbelievable unfinished work. While humorously (and seriously) talking ...
Learning to Live Finally: The Last Interview
Jacques Derrida
Melville Pubns
, 2007
Chilling
My five stars is based on the overall value of this work. It offers a better insight into this man than any work ever has--including the film "Derrida" as well as his "Circumfession." If I were to base my rating on pure theoretical value, this would maybe be a "3 ...

Derrida all over the place

The Truth in Painting
Jacques Derrida
University Of Chicago Press
, 1987
Very interesting book
Derrida has a very complicated way of writing : it is not easy avoiding metaphors, the verb to be, the 'I'. Especially when the subject is art, beacause it is exactly the realm of the aesthetic, the subjective, the presence. This, I think, is one of his most ...
Speech and Phenomena: And Other Essays on Husserl's Theory of Signs (SPEP)
Jacques Derrida
Northwestern University Press
