Abstract
This piece offers an Urdu rendition of a conversation between Richard Kearney and Jacques Derrida and a very brief introductory interpretation of the latter's work. The conversation revolves round the meaning and implications of concepts like deconstruction and the importance of "Other" Derrida also discusses his intellectual relationship with other writers and comments upon some modern movements like feminism. The introduction written by the translator attempts to identify the most basic concern underlying Derrida's attack on logo-centricism and the idea of 'presence', his notion of difference etc., and almost everything with which his name has been associated in our literary circles. It is proposed, in the light of a Heideggerian analysis of the meaning of 'logos' as 'gathering' (Sammeln), that Derrida's basic concern is 'openness' and he is out against anything that compromises openness or 'gathers' and binds thing and ideas together.
