Review:
'Perhaps the world's most famous philosopher.' - New York Times
From the Back Cover:
'Almost from the moment deconstruction emerged as a glittering force on the academic scene, its many detractors have been saying that it is 'dead'. And yet the term deconstruction has penetrated almost every aspect of culture.' - New York Times
In the 1960s a radical concept emerged from the great French thinker Jacques Derrida. He called the new process 'deconstruction'. Rewriting the ways in which we use language and literature, deconstruction affected every form of intellectual thought, from literary criticism to popular culture. It also criticized the entire tradition of Western philosophy, from Plato to Bataille. The academic community was rocked on a scale hitherto unknown, with 'Writing and Difference' attracting both accolades and derision. Whatever the response, deconstruction is here to stay. Read the book that changed the way we think; read 'Writing and Difference', the classic introduction.
Jacques Derrida (1930- ). Born in Algeria, he has been called the most famous philosopher of our time. He is also a political activist.
