Dialog cu sine însuși. Pornind de la Jacques Derrida și Edmund Husserl

In this paper, I provide a summary analysis of the soliloquy, starting from Edmund Husserl’s analysis in the Logical Investigations and Jacques Derrida’s interpretation of it. The paper has the following structure: after some introductory remarks on Derrida’s Speech and Phenomena, I present the context of Husserl’s discussion of the soliloquy in the Logical Investigations, and Derrida’s interpretation of it. Building on some limitations that become apparent after Derrida’s lecture, I analyse the monologue in light of Husserl’s actual phenomenological practice and some of his late reflections on the monologue.
