本片为电视电影，记述了法国哲学家笛卡尔（1596—1650）的杰出一生。

This is the first documentary film on the International College of Philosophy (Collège 　　international de Philosophie: CIPH), founded by, among others, Jacques Derrida and 　　François Châtelet in 1983 in Paris. The film consists of interviews with former presidents 　　Michel Deguy, François Noudelmann and Bruno Clément, current vice-president Boyan 　　Manchev, and with former and current program directors Catherine Malabou, Francisco 　　Naishtat and Gisèle Berkman. The aim of this film is to consider the possibilities of the 　　humanities in general and philosophy in particular under the current conditions of global 　　capitalism. One of the main themes it tries to develop is the "question of the institution", 　　namely the relationship between philosophy and institutions—a topic that was very central 　　for deconstruction as elaborated and practiced by Derrida. 　　参见：http://todai-yale.jp/from_tyi/news/film09_en.html
