Of Grammatology
Of Grammatology
Author: Jacques Derrida
Desc: Jacques Derrida's revolutionary theories about deconstruction phenomenology psychoanalysis and structuralism first voiced in the 1960s forever changed the face of European and American criticism. The ideas in De la grammatologie sparked lively debates in intellectual circles that included students of literature philosophy and the humanities inspiring these students to ask questions of their disciplines that had previously been considered improper. Thirty years later the immense influence of Derrida's work is still igniting controversy thanks in part to Gayatri Spivak's translation which captures the richness and complexity of the original. This corrected edition adds a new index of the critics and philosophers cited in the text and makes one of contemporary criticism's most indispensable works even more accessible and usable.
