      abstract = {For Strasbourg consists of a series of essays and  interviews about the city of Strasbourg and the  philosophical friendships Jacques Derrida developed there  over a period of some forty years.Written just months  before his death, the opening essay, "The Place Name(s):  Strasbourg," recounts in detail, and in very moving terms,  Derrida's deep attachment to this French city on the border  between France and Germany. More than just a personal  narrative, however, the essay is a profound interrogation  of the relationship between philosophy and place,  philosophy and language, and philosophy and friendship. As  such, it raises a series of philosophical, political, and  ethical questions that might all be placed under the aegis  of what Derrida once called "philosophical nationalities  and nationalism."The other three texts included in the book  are long interviews/conversations between Derrida and his  two principal interlocutors in Strasbourg, Jean-Luc Nancy  and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. These interviews are  significant both for the themes they focus on (language,  politics, friendship, death, life after death, and so on)  and for what they reveal about Derrida's relationships to  Nancy and Lacoue-Labarthe. Filled with sharp insights into  one anothers' work and peppered with personal anecdotes and  humor, the interviews bear witness to the decades-long  intellectual friendships of these three important  contemporary thinkers.This collection thus stands as a  reminder of and testimony to Derrida's unique relationship  to Strasbourg and to the two thinkers most closely  associated with that city.},
