Features: Derrida is one of the most influential Western philosophers of the 20th century, and his influence is evident across various fields such as philosophy, literature, art, history, and culture. The concept of deconstruction he proposed has almost become a fashionable accessory in academia, but few truly understand Derrida. This book can be considered the beginning of systematic research on Derrida in China. The author grasps the main thread of Derrida's thought, which is the deconstruction of original metaphysics, placing Derrida within the broader context of Western philosophy. It analyzes his fundamental concepts and ideas: deconstruction, originality, difference, substitution, existence, trace, etc.; examines the origins, evolution, purpose, forms, value, and significance of Derrida's thought, and presents the obscure and "unintelligible" Derrida in a clear and fluent manner.
