Compliments of Continental Philosophy and MySpaceTV, here's a clip of Derrida trying not to talk about love, but eventually giving in. No time to expand on this, alas, but I think the distinction he makes between loving "someone" and loving "something" is critical to the question of political motivation that is Simon Critchley's concern in his recent Infinitely Demanding (see recent posts here and at Long Sunday), as well as, e.g., to the possibility of expanding Levinas's conception of ethics beyond the humanism that people complain about . . . . On that cryptic note, here's the video, if I can figure out how to get it into this post:
