The dialogue, the poem, the other -Hermeneutics and Deconstruction in the light of Jacques Derrida's Carneros

The debate between the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans Georg Gadamer and the deconstruction of Jacques Derrida is far from over. In the light of Carneros (2003), the text of the lecture read by Derrida in memory of Gadamer, we intend to resume here the intense dialogue between these two emblematic thinkers of continental philosophy at the end of the last century. Starting from the different meanings that in each case take notions such as 'dialogue' or 'world', but also in the different ways in which each of them interprets the Platonic philosophy or the poetry of Paul Celan, we intend to illuminate the profound ontological and ethical disagreement that exists between the two proposals. The question of the other, central to both authors, will be shown at the end as the point where the tensions between them are condensed and sharpened.
