  • "Derrida gilt als einer der wichtigsten Philosophen unserer Zeit, der den Blick auf Geschichte, Kunst und Sprache des 20. Jahrhunders und nicht zuletzt den Blick auf uns selbst massgeblich beeinflusste. Weltweit ist er vor allem als der Vater der "Dekonstruktion" bekannt."
  • ""Et si nous pouvions observer Descartes ou Spinoza au travail, à la maison, dans leur quotidien? Peut-être les aborderions-nous différemment? Peut-être les comprendrions-nous mieux? Pendant cinq ans, les réalisateurs Kirby Dick et Amy Ziering Kofman ont suivi l'un des plus visionnaires et influents penseurs du XXe siècle, un homme qui a changé la façon dont nous appréhendons l'art, l'histoire, le langage : Jacques Derrida."
  • "Jacques Derrida is best known for having formulated a theoretical analysis commonly referred to as "deconstruction." His writings on language, rhetoric, and philosophy interrogate and challenge the formulations of certain basic precepts of Western metaphysics, such as presence, truth, the position of the subject and nature of identity. Politically active and deeply committed to social justice, he devoted his life work to rethinking positions of racism, power, and oppression using his sharp and surprising analytical skills to address the ways in which they overtly and covertly operate. One of the most cited and influential contemporary intellectual figures, the film illuminates the paradox of Derrida, a person who was at once both extremely private and extremely public."

  • "Documentaire. Le film se propose de découvrir l'homme derrière le penseur, et, par lui, entrer dans l'oeuvre, l'objectif étant d'expérimenter la déconstruction comme procédé de réalisation à part entière. (Conteneur)."
  • "Although Jacques Derrida may be justly described as a philosopher, his brainchild Deconstruction might best be defined as a stance, a challenge to philosophy. Reality -- as we have been taught since Plato -- is understood by asking "What is...?" And pursuing a line of inquiry whose end result is a stable realization, such as: "I think, therefore I am." Other philosophers might counter this idea, approve it, or modify it, but underneath their arguments lies a shared assumption that what is true can be decisively revealed. Derrida seeks to destabilize these inherited assumptions. We think, therefore we question, he counters. Even Plato's own thinking contains such challenges to its own theses. As centered and orderly as Plato's arguments may appear, there is an element of no less revealing conflict built-in. Locating that shadow is where deconstruction finds its meaning. For example: Plato, in his parable of Phaedrus, denounces the written word as being inferior to words which are spoken by an actual human being. (This is a principle which to this day upholds much of our civilization. In a court of law, written evidence is easily outweighed by testimony that is spoken under oath.) Yet Plato advances this time-honored idea in writing, observes Derrida: a contradiction that complicates the decisiveness of Plato's assertion about the primacy of the spoken word. Similarly, Derrida takes issue with the way in which much of metaphysical thought is founded on dynamic oppositions of good and evil, interior and exterior, Essence and appearance, true and false, life and death. Derrida views western culture as being pervaded, perhaps inescapably, by metaphysics, by searches for truth whose point of origin is singular and lies outside the realm of the empirically knowable. Deconstruction may not provide the escape route -- Derrida asserts that no critique can ever completely escape what it is criticizing -- but a necessary liberation takes root when we resist thinking reality's essence is founded in some truth exterior to its own system. Applied to literature, theology, politics, Derrida's method is a magnet for controversy. Many assume that by so thoroughly attacking and shaking our Culture's philosophical foundations, we are destroying them. Derrida has often been accused of moral relativism for taking the stance that he has. If knowledge is not always certain, so goes the conventional Wisdom, how can one engage in deconstruction yet continue to function as a moral and Ethical being? The answer for Derrida is built into the question. Deconstruction resists the tyranny of the easy answer. One is all the more ethically and morally responsible because one is in charge of making a decision and being accountable to that decision. No truth may lie outside one's system for truth making, but that doesn't mean that one can't make moral and ethical decisions - one just must take responsibility for those decisions and not believe them to be preordained or given by a higher power. As such, deconstruction resists tyranny. Therein arises its moral value, its relevance to the century from which we've just emerged, and its use for the one now emerging."
  • "Jacques Derrida es más conocido por haber formulado el análisis teórico de la "deconstrucción". Sus escritos sobre el lenguaje, la retórica y la filosofía cuestionan ciertos preceptos básicos de la metafísica occidental, como la presencia, la verdad, la posición del sujeto y la naturaleza de la identidad. Políticamente activo y profundamente comprometido con la justicia social, dedicó su vida laboral a repensar el racismo, el poder y la opresión usando sus habilidades analíticas. El documental ilumina la paradoja de Derrida, una persona que era a la vez muy público y privado en extremo."

  • "Les auteurs ont voulu suivre celui qu'ils considèrent comme l'un des penseurs les plus visionnaires et influents du vingtième siècle, un homme qui a changé la façon dont nous appréhendons l'art, l'histoire, le langage : Jacques Derrida. Nous découvrons ainsi le père de la "déconstruction" au-delà du mythe, dans sa vie de tous les jours, avec sa famille, ses amis... Nous surprenons Derrida dans l'intimité, réfléchissant à la fidélité et au mariage, au narcissisme, à la célébrité et à l'importance de la pensée philosophique de l'amour."
