recollections of Derrida, etc.

We now almost have our software problems fixed (still a few minor glitches)… But here is my INTERVIEW OF STEFFEN STELZER, now interim Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at the American University in Cairo. He can be called the father of philosophy at AUC, and he is the one who hired me here.

Readers of this blog may be interested in his recollections of Derrida, his former teacher:

“Q6: Eventually you went to Paris. There you studied with the famous and controversial philosopher Jacques Derrida, who died in 2004. What are your recollections of Derrida as a person and teacher?

A6: I went to study with Derrida because studying philosophy in the Germany of the sixties was a strange affair…”

Stelzer may also be the world’s only Derridean Sufi.
