The ethics of deconstruction: Derrida and Levinas

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

It is now widely accepted that The Ethics of Deconstruction was the first book to argue for the ethical turn in Derrida's work and to show as powerfully as possible how deconstruction has persuasive ethical consequences that were vital to our thinking through of questions of politics and democracy. Now reissued with three new appendices which restate as well as reflect upon and deepen the book's argument, this is undoubtedly the standard work in the field.
