The first English-language translations of writings from the last years of Jacques Derrida's life Collects Derrida's later writings on topics including political activism, archiving and 'intellectualism' English-language translations of previously untranslated essays and interviews Provides further insight into the thinker's biography Contributes significantly to our understanding of Derrida's work in politics, literary theory and philosophy In two volumes, Geoffrey Bennington and Kas Saghafi present the majority of Jacques Derrida's untranslated, and previously uncollected, essays and interviews. Dating mostly from 1992 to 2004, these writings offer a fuller picture of Derrida's biography, theoretical engagements and the stakes of his social and political investments. In the interviews in Essays, Interviews, and Interventions by Jacques Derrida: Thinking What Comes, Volume 1 , Derrida proposes the foundation of a new European political culture, discusses the strengths of Nelson Mandela, and reflects on the archive. He also considers his experience of political life, his relationship to institutions (particularly the Collège international de philosophie), and his views on 'intellectualism'. Whether writing about public health, Palestine, or the notion of the promise, Derrida is razor-sharp and impassioned. These volumes allow significant insight into his mature thought.
