Book Description:
|
The book contributes to the critical evaluation of deconstruction by focusing on the problematic of writing, self and other in the thought of the influential and controversial thinker Jacques Derrida. It examines how these concepts relate to one another in order to analyse systematically the influence that the concept of alterity had in deconstructing a certain idea of subjectivity in Western metaphysics.
