Features: The author is one of the most important figures in introducing and popularizing European structuralism and post-structuralism (i.e., deconstruction) in the American academic world. On Deconstruction is one of his seminal works, which caused a sensation upon its first publication and even reached bestseller status at one point. The book focuses on tracing the origins and development of European deconstructive philosophy, and provides a detailed analysis of Derrida's deconstructive critique of Saussure's structuralist linguistic theories at the theoretical level.
