Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jurgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida | 誠品線上

恐怖時代的哲學: 與尤爾根．哈伯馬斯&雅克．德希達對話

內容簡介

內容簡介 The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9 11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
