Synopsis "Eyes of the University: Right to Philosophy 2 (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) "

Completing the translation of Derrida's monumental work Right to Philosophy (the first part of which has already appeared under the title of Who's Afraid of Philosophy?), Eyes of the University brings together many of the philosopher's most important texts on the university and, more broadly, on the languages and institutions of philosophy. In addition to considerations of the implications for literature and philosophy of French becoming a state language, of Descartes' writing of the Discourse on Method in French, and of Kant's and Schelling's philosophies of the university, the volume reflects on the current state of research and teaching in philosophy and on the question of what Derrida calls a "university responsibility." Examining the political and institutional conditions of philosophy, the essays collected here question the growing tendency to orient research and teaching towards a programmable and profitable end. The volume is therefore invaluable for the light it throws upon an underappreciated aspect of Derrida's own engagement, both philosophical and political, in struggles against the stifling of philosophical research and teaching. As a founding member of the Research Group on the Teaching of Philosophy and as one of the conveners of the Estates General of Philosophy, Derrida was at the forefront of the struggle to preserve and extend the teaching of philosophy as a distinct discipline, in secondary education and beyond, in the face of conservative government education reforms in France. As one of the founders of the Collège International de Philosophie, he worked to provide a space for research in and around philosophy that was not accepted or legitimated in other institutions. Documenting and reflecting upon these engagements, Eyes of the University brings together some of the most important and incisive of Derrida's works.

Jacques Derrida nació el 15 de julio de 1930 en El Biar, Argelia, y murió el 8 de octubre de 2004 en París, Francia. Proveniente de una familia judía sefardí en el contexto del colonialismo francés, su infancia estuvo marcada por acontecimientos que influirían en su sensibilidad filosófica: entre ellos, la experiencia de ser excluido de su liceo en 1942 debido a decretos antijudíos del régimen de Vichy. Posteriormente se trasladó a París para formarse en filosofía, y tras ejercer la enseñanza en la Sorbona y en la École Normale Supérieure, se consolidó como uno de los más influyentes filósofos del siglo XX.

Derrida es sobretodo conocido por haber desarrollado la filosofía de la deconstrucción, un método crítico que analiza cómo los textos, discursos o sistemas de pensamiento contienen oposiciones jerárquicas implícitas (como presencia/ausencia, palabra/escritura, naturaleza/cultura) y muestra cómo esas oposiciones pueden desplazarse o derrumbarse. Su trabajo influyó profundamente en áreas como filosofía, teoría literaria, lingüística, derecho, arquitectura y estudios culturales, sirviendo para cuestionar los fundamentos de la metafísica occidental.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Of Grammatology (1967), Writing and Difference (1967) y Margins of Philosophy (1972). A lo largo de su vida académica, abordó temas como la escritura, la diferencia, la presencia, la identidad, la justicia, la memoria y la alteridad. Su estilo, complejo y frecuentemente polémico, generó tanto adhesiones como críticas intensas. Derrida deja un legado que sigue vivo en múltiples disciplinas, movilizando el pensamiento en torno a la apertura, el otro y el procedimiento crítico.
