Ă propos de ce livre
Brilliant illustrated guide to the best-known and most controversial continental philosopher of the latter 20th century. Jacques Derrida is the most famous philosopher of the late 20th century. Yet Derrida has undermined the rules of philosophy, rejected its methods, broken its procedures and contaminated it with literary styles of writing. Derrida's philosophy is a puzzling array of oblique, deviant and yet rigorous tactics for destabilizing texts, meanings and identities. 'Deconstruction', as these strategies have been called, is reviled and celebrated in equal measure. Introducing Derrida introduces and explains his work, taking us on an intellectual adventure that disturbs some of our most comfortable habits of thought.

Deconstruction in PhilosophyWho was Derrida?
Jacques Derrida was a philosopher. Yet he never wrote anything straightforwardly philosophical.
His work has been heralded as the most significant in contemporary thinking. But itâs also been denounced as a corruption of all intellectual values.
Derrida has famously been associated with something called DECONSTRUCTION. Yet of all development in contemporary philosophy, deconstruction might be the most difficult to summarizeâŠ
What Is Deconstruction?
There have been many answers.
All of these (and more) have been said of deconstruction. But thereâs some consensus on one point: its leading exponent has been Jacques Derrida.
Derridaâs writing undermines our usual ideas about texts, meanings, concepts and identities â not just in philosophy, but in other fields as well.
Reactions to this have ranged from reasoned criticism to sheer abuse â deconstruction has been controversial. Should it be reviled as a politically pernicious nihilism, celebrated as a philosophy of radical choice and difference⊠or what?
Thereâs much more to Derridaâs work than the public controversies suggest. But controversy can reveal something about whatâs at stake in contemporary philosophy. A small quarrel at Cambridge has done precisely thatâŠ
BORDER LINES
According to a tradition dating from 1479, English universities award honorary degrees to distinguished people. Itâs never been quite clear why. But itâs assumed that both parties benefit.
On 21 March 1992, senior members of the University of Cambridge gathered to decide its annual awards. It should have been a formality â no candidate had been opposed for twenty-nine years. But the name Jacques Derrida was on the list. Four of the dons ritually declared non placet (ânot contentedâ). They were Dr Henry Erskine-Hill, Reader in Literary History; Ian Jack, Professor of English Literature; David Hugh Mellor, Professor of Philosophy; Raymond Ian Page, Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon. And they forced the University to arrange a ballot.
There were two problems. First, this was a boundary dispute. Most of Derridaâs proposers were members of the English faculty, but by training and profession Derrida was a philosopher. But more trenchantly, Cambridge traditionalists in both disciplines saw Derridaâs thinking as deeply improper, offensive and subversive.
Campaigns were organized, and the Press was alerted. To the outraged dons, Derrida represented an insidious, fashionable strand of âFrench theoryâ. They struck Anglo-Saxon attitudesâŠ
19 academics summed up the indictments in a letter to The Times:
Derrida is accused of obfuscation, trickery and charlatanism.
Heâs not a philosopher, heâs a flim-flam artist. And strangely, his trivial joking gimmickry is seen as a powerful threat to philosophy â a corrosion in the very foundations of intellectual life.
But Derrida had his defenders, such as Jonathan RĂ©e: âThe traditionalists were offering a mere and meagre argument from authority. They were refusing the possibility of dissent from established systems â an establishment stance, yes, but scarcely a philosophical stanceâŠâ
The ballot on 16 May vindicated Derrida and his supporters by 336 votes to 204. Derrida collected his award. But the dispute has continued.
What was at stake? Underneath the posturing, there were two important questions:
If the dons had wanted a rigorous address to these questions, they might have found one in the writings of a certain Jacques DerridaâŠ
The Critique of Philosophy
Derridaâs writing is a radical critique of philosophy. It questions the usual notions of truth and knowledge. It disrupts traditional ideas about procedure and presentation. And it questions the authority of philosophy.
So Derrida writes âphilosophyâ in something...
