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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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, \u003ci\u003eEyes of the University\u003c\/i\u003e brings together some of the most important and incisive of Derrida's works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217913401688,"sku":"9780804742962","price":111.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780804742962__676ede38de817.jpg?v=1741157254","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/eyes-of-the-university","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
