Features: Briefly, the passing of contemporary Western philosopher Jacques Derrida on October 8, 2004, ended his radical, novel, unconventional, versatile, brilliant, and dazzling deconstructive stance on the postmodern stage. Derrida's evident political turn in the 1990s, with a cross-millennium posture, advanced into the 21st century, demonstrating the significant influence of late deconstructionism in the political/ethical arena and contemporary cultural studies. Derrida's political aesthetics is a white lotus in the dreamlike lake of human nature, always sparkling from a distance with exquisite light. The purpose of this book is to place deconstructionism within the political and cultural context of postmodern thought, systematically introducing and exploring the political/ethical genealogy of late deconstructionism through Derrida's recent works, interviews, lectures, and related important literature.
