One has never experienced the initial words of “The Ends of Man” spoken so seriously as at the recent colloquium held in Rio de Janeiro, between August 16-18, 2004. The international colloquium “Towards a Reflection on Deconstruction: Issues of Politics, Ethics and Aesthetics” opened with a lecture by Jacques Derrida entitled “Forgiveness, Truth, Reconciliation: What Gender?” It seems to echo incessantly the sentence of the philosopher who claimed in his own Margins of Philosophy: “every and any philosophical colloquium necessarily has a political sense.”
