Derrida For Beginners

Since 1968, in coffeehouses around the world, intellectuals have been talking about Jacques Derrida and Deconstruction. Jim Powell has written the most lucid introduction available on this important philosopher, whose abstruse mode of philosophizing remains incomprehensible to even the best-educated minds. Speaking tours. "Derrida For Beginners" concentrates on developing the key concept of "differance" and defining the necessary Derridian terminology used to communicate its meaning. The book clearly defines, "binary opposites", "texts", "logocentricism" etc.. and has plenty of diagram's to help you get the idea.
