Derrida offers significant insights into de Man's understanding of Heidegger, Holderlin, Hegel, Austin, and Rouseau. A warm, personal, and at times touching account of the de Man/Derrida intellectual friendship and the existential experience of a friend's death, this work shows a very human side to a thinker whose humanity has been questioned by the critics.
