Ethics, Institutions, and the Right to Philosophy cover

This new book reflects Derrida's latest views on the role of education and international organizations in an era of globalization. In this book, Derrida develops a notion of the global citizen that is uniquely post-Kantian. He looks especially at the changing role of UNESCO and similar organizations at a time when individual and national identities, knowledge and commerce, and human rights all are brought to world attention in new ways than they have been in the past. Following Derrida's writings on these issues, prominent scholars engage in a dialogue with him on his approach to understanding the ethics of international institutions and education today.

Derrida is surprisingly lucid in conversation. * Educational Review *
In his extremely clear and concise text—a decisive counter-example for those usually puzzled or even put off by his writings. . . . The commentary includes provocative insights. * Political Studies Review *
