Seminar Notes - the Derrida screening 14th February

Derrida - some quick notes:

1 an individual's right to privacy

2 Heidegger on Aristotle: He was born, he thought, he died!
(Is that it?)

3 how to love knowing one is dying (eventually) -
the impossible confidence of love (Circumfession 1992)

4 beware: thinking at work! thinking as an 'action' movie!

5 the permanently flawed biography (history?)

6 the ear and the other, 1982

7 deconstruction - to make 'natural' what is unnaturalised?
deconstruction is not a sitcom - read, do some homework.

8 remember Levi-Strauss: that savage(d) mind or
'thinking-in-the-wild'. (see Edmund Leach)

9 see also The Undoing of Thought/The Defeat of the Mind,
Alain Finkielkraut.

10 love is narcissistic - Points 1992

11 Archive Fever, 1998

12 The secret passions of philosophers: the sexual life
of bees, philosophers, architects? a book we all want
to read - really?

13 life: exactly (?) what is left out, what is edited?
