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