They revisited his life's work and his impending death in a long, surprisingly accessible, and moving final interview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contemporary meaning of Derrida's work is also examined, including a discussion of his many political activities.
