Features: This book takes the form of interviews, recording the analyses of the contemporary greatest philosopher Habermas and Derrida on the 9/11 event. The analyses of the two thinkers are not limited to this; although their specific analytical approaches and final conclusions are distinctive, they still agree on the need to reflect on the Enlightenment to find the true roots of the 9/11 event. The entire book is a collision of great thoughts and an encounter between ideas and major contemporary events, so the "appearance of this book itself can be considered an event."
