The relationship between national languages and schooling is a recurring theme in Derrida’s writings on education, playing an important role in the challenge he mounts to traditional understandings of the French State’s involvement in the teaching of philosophy. In this essay, I follow this thread of thinking across several of Derrida’s texts, paying specific attention to his diagnoses of positions arguing for a universal philosophical language on the one hand, and those elevating French as the proper language of philosophy on the other. I demonstrate how, against these positions, an alternative understanding of relation between language and philosophical education starts to emerge in Derrida’s work, one in which translation is a key element.

德里达论语言和哲学教育

民族语言与学校教育之间的关系是德里达关于教育的著作中反复出现的主题，在他对法国国家参与哲学教学的传统理解提出挑战中发挥了重要作用。在这篇文章中，我在德里达的几部文本中遵循这一思路，一方面特别关注他对主张通用哲学语言的立场的诊断，另一方面又将法语提升为适当的哲学语言。我展示了如何与这些立场相反，对语言和哲学教育之间关系的另一种理解开始出现在德里达的作品中，其中翻译是一个关键要素。
