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.
