Positions (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers S.) - Tapa blanda

"Positions is the best place to start for anyone in search of a compact introduction to Derrida's deconstructive readings of (among others) Plato, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Husserl, Heidegger, Freud, and Saussure."

A compact introduction to Derrida's deconstructive readings of various philosophers including: Plato, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Husserl, Heidegger, Freud, and Saussure, this title brings together three interviews with Jacques Derrida, outlining key terms and themes of his work. It takes an interview format which allows for a looser, more accessible exploration of the key Derridean themes of Marxism, psychoanalysis and linguistics. The text serves as an introduction not only to two of Derrida's most influential works, "Writing and Difference" and "Dissemination", but also, more generally, to his seminal work on deconstruction. This new edition of the book includes an extensive essay by Christopher Norris, setting these key early interviews in the context of the full trajectory of Derrida's thought.
