Jacques Derrida and the Institution of French Philosophy
Author: Vivienne Orchard
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351194895
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
"Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was unquestionably one of the most celebrated and reviled French thinkers of the last thirty years. Outside France his influence in comparative literature circles, through deconstruction and other ideas, has been so profound that his personal role as a leader of contemporary French philosophy has been almost overlooked. Perhaps because there is no equivalent in English-speaking countries to the timetabling of philosophy in the French education system, writers on Derrida outside France have not fully appreciated the importance of this political and cultural struggle. In this ground-breaking book, Orchard examines a hard-fought debate of great importance not only to Derrida himself, but also to France's idea of what studying 'philosophy' might mean after the student uprisings of 1968."

Pages : 238
Book Description
Every since Talleyrand assumed a prominent role during the opening stages of the French Revolution, his intentions and motivations have been the subject of heated debate. The debate about his achievements and merits is far from over. This bibliography is the first to be compiled on Napoleon's foreign minister. It opens with a chronology of Talleyrand's life and an introduction summarizing the salient points in his career. It is then divided into sections covering the available archival sources, Talleyrand's own writings, contemporary pamphlets and books, and works written about him since his death. The volume opens with a chronology of Talleyrand's life and an introduction summarizing the salient points in his career and pointing to discrepancies in the Talleyrand historiography. The initial section describes the most important archival sources available in France and other countries. The second section covers Talleyrand's own publications, his parliamentary interventions, and his correspondence. Contemporary pamphlets and books, many critical of Talleyrand's secularization of Church property, are covered in the third section. The final section includes works written about Talleyrand since his death as well as works on topics related to him, such as his women and children, his portrayal in art and literature, and a list of drawings and lithographs dedicated to him.
