''The Rhetoric of Drugs'' ((フランス語:Rhétorique de la drogue)) in the original French title, is a 1990 work by French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Derrida, interviewed, discusses the concept of "drug", and says that "Already one must conclude that the concept of drug is a non-scientific concept, that it is instituted on the basis of moral or political evaluations."〔Eng. 1995, p.229〕 In his philosophical-linguistic analysis, Derrida unmasks the socio-cultural mystifications made on the discourses on drugs. Derrida also discusses drug use by athletes. Exploring its confines, he says: "and what about women athletes who get pregnant for the stimulating, hormonal effects and then have an abortion after their event?"〔Eng. 1995, p.248 original: "Et la pratique des athlètes femmes qui provoquent une grossesse dont les effets endocriniens sont «dopants» et qui avortent après l’épreuve?"〕 Derrida discusses how the link between the rhetoric of drugs and the Western ideology. He also says that "Adorno and Horkheimer correctly point out that drug culture has always been associated with the West's other, with Oriental ethics and religion",〔Eng. 1995, p.250〕〔Adorno and Horkheimer, 1944〕 and adds: "The Enlightenment () is in itself a declaration of war on drugs."〔 ==Editions== This interview was made in 1989 and published more than one time as a journal article.
