Long description
This volume reflects Jacques Derrida's views on the role of education and international organizations in an era of globalization. Derrida develops a notion of the global citizen that is uniquely post-Kantian. He looks especially at the changing role of UNESCO and similar organizations at a time when individual and national identities, knowledge and commerce, and human rights are all brought to world attention in new ways. Following Derrida's writings on these issues, prominent scholars engage in a dialogue with him on his approach to understand the ethics of international institutions and education.
