Скачать или смотреть Peter Salmon: "Who was Jacques Derrida?"

Who was Jacques Derrida, and why does he have such a towering, and foreboding reputation across modern philosophy, thought by some to be a genius, others a charlatan. His biographer Peter Salmon goes back to Derrida himself, from his childhood in Algiers to his miracle year of 1967 which saw the birth of deconstruction, to his late turn to ethics and the politics of friendship. This will be fascinating and accessible exploration of a thinker who continues to exert a huge influence on modern thinking from philosophy to religion, from gender studies to literature.
