Description

The Ethics of Deconstruction, Simon Critchley’s first book, was originally published to great acclaim in 1992. The first book to argue for the ethical turn in Derrida’s work, it powerfully shows how deconstruction has persuasive ethical consequences that are vital to our thinking through of questions of politics and democracy. Moving away from using deconstruction to find the contradictions inherent in any text, Critchley concerns himself with the philosophical context the ethical impetus Derrida’s ethics to be understood in relation to his engagement with the work of Levinas, and lays out the details of their philosophical confrontation.New for this edition: A new preface where Critchley reveals the origins, motivations, and reception of The Ethics of Deconstruction, plus three new appendices, which reflect upon and deppend the book’s argument.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am just catching up with the fascinating discussion underway regarding ethics. This early book by Critchley lays out a thesis where deconstruction is defined as a double reading, a reading that admits its dependence on the onto-theological but struggles to by-pass its confinement. Once you have a double reading, the powers of multiplication multiply.Is Derrida avoiding politics by insisting on an absence of final determinations? Is Heidegger’s philosophy fascistic because he allowed himself to be a dupe of Hitler? Heidegger’s defenders are able to double read and find redeeming ambiguities.Apart from all the struggles over reputations, the critical question for me is that raised by Levinas about not only Heidegger but about ontology: Which comes first? Being? Or ethics?I don’t know where Critchley comes out on the question. I have not yet finished reading this book. And while I read some time back his later book, that does not refer to this earlier one. Stay tuned.

⭐Good purchase. Service was good. Helpful . ! ! ! ! ! 1 ! ! ! ! ! ! !
