Deconstruction for Beginners

Deconstruction is so labyrinthine (and rumored to be fatal) that it's become the monster that murdered philosophy. When Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstruction, uses such buzz-words as "phallogocentrism" and "transcendental signified," humanities students and aspiring philosophers may get weak in the knees. In Deconstruction for Beginners, James Powell provides lucid explanations of the theory's central elements and highlights both key texts and lesser-known works.Powell, James is the author of 'Deconstruction for Beginners' with ISBN 9780863169984 and ISBN 0863169988.
