"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."--BOOK JACKET.

Deconstruction in a nutshell : a conversation with Jacques Derrida by Jacques Derrida ( Book )
23 editions published between 1996 and 2008 in English and held by 1,771 libraries worldwide
Responding to questions put to him at a Roundtable held at Villanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up with clarity and eloquence such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, community, the distinction between the messianic and the concrete messianisms, and his interpretation of James Joyce. Derrida convincingly refutes the charges of relativism and nihilism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics, and sets forth the profoundly affirmative ethico-political thrust of this work.

La Vérité en peinture est un essai écrit par Jacques Derrida publié aux éditions Gallimard en 1978. Ce livre contient 4 chapitres. Le 1er chapitre comprend 4 sous-chapitres. Dans le premier sous-chapitre du chapitre 1, intitulé Lemmes, Derrida décrit l'esthétique Hegelienne qui fait partie de l'encyclopédie, système de la formation enseignante et cycle du savoir. Le 2e sous-chapitre du chapitre 1, intitulé Parergon Derrida fait une critique sur la critique de la raison pure de Kant. Dans le 3e sous-chapitre du 1er chapitre, Derrida développe ses idées en faisant un lien entre la troisième critique de Kant et la nature de l'art, notamment la peinture. Le 4e sous-chapitre de ce livre correspond les idées de Derrida sur le colossal. Selon Derrida, par opposition aux œuvres d'art et aux choses de la nature finie et finalisée, la nature brute peut offrir ou présenter le prodigieux, l'Ungeheuer (l'énorme, l'immense, l'excessif, l'étonnant, l'inouï, parfois le monstrueux).

Derrida's main concern is with the meaning of moral and ethical responsibility in Western religion and philosophy. He questions the limits of the rational and the responsible that one reaches in granting or accepting death, whether by sacrifice, murder, execution, or suicide. Beginning with a discussion of Patocka's Heretical Essays on the History of Philosophy, Derrida develops Patocka's ideas concerning the sacred and responsibility through comparisons with the works of Heidegger, Levinas, and, finally, Kierkegaard. Derrida's treatment of Kierkegaard makes clear that the two philosophers share some of the same concerns. He then undertakes a careful reading of Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, comparing and contrasting his own conception of responsibility with that of Kierkegaard, and extending and deepening his recent accounts of the gift and sacrifice.
