Features: Professor Derrida's lectures and discussions in China are rich in content and cover a wide range of fields. He also explains and clarifies some of his views and issues that often lead to misunderstanding and "distortion." In recent years, Derrida's research on topics such as "forgiveness," "death," "friendship," "the university," "gift," and "Marxism" actually reflects his consistent academic concern: not to destroy structures, but to propose meaning for tradition, reason, and concepts. Deconstruction is not, as some may say, a denial of everything, but an affirmation—it affirms this impossibility. Deconstruction is the "impossible possibility."
