Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-12 00:00:00 Edwin Heywood Much like the recent Barthes Criticism and Truth, this is more of a pamphlet or delivered paper than a freestanding book. Derrida parses Kant looking at the concept of universalism and the instruction of philosophy. Derrida gauges that Kant was anticipating a space like UNESCO (for whom the paper was delivered) as a culmination of the democratic possibility. Derrida sagely asks the rhetorical question, who should have access to philosophy? He notes that what we understand as philosophy has such strong roots in the Greek tradition, he worries about the hegemonic use of English as the lingual Franca, but in terms of language but rather the Anglo-American analytical tradition. A round table discussion follows and the text concludes with an overview. Despite it slight stature, this was an enjoyable and elegant posture.
