"This book is worth reading because of how incredibly insightful Habermas and Derrida's comments on 9/11 were, especially when interviewed only a few weeks after the events.
Borradori however was not as great. Her questions were leading and her viewpoint eurocentric; it was interesting that after reading the interviews, I found myself disagreeing with her interpretations of the philosopher's responses; I found her work of linking the philosopher's prior theories with these responses unnecessary and repetitive.
..so I'd only get this book to read the interviews - even if the questions are leading, the responders were brilliant to call her out on the language of her questions, and still managed to say something meaningful and important that helps one develop a broader perspective on the issues posed by global terrorism."
"This is a very interesting read. The play of Derrida's thoughts with Habermas's--alternately complementary and incongruous--makes for a vivid set of reflections on the immediate implications of 9/11."
