| 1. Writing and Difference (Routledge Classics) | 
|
By: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: Routledge
May 18, 2001
With this collection of subversive essays, Jacques Derrida exploded onto the scene of post-modern philosophy in Europe and the US though he didn't have a doctorate or teaching position at the time. In it, he demonstrates for the first time his conception of `deconstruction,' an apparently inexplicable concept which enables the analysis of `inter-textuality' and `binary-oppositions,' to be revealed... more

| 2. Of Grammatology | 
|
By: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press
January 08, 1998
It's okay to not understand Derrida. He's not saying anything in particular. He writes to make himself look impressive and to stroke the egos of those who pretend to understand him, not to clarify or reveal. Alas, I cannot even review the meaning of the text, because if we are to believe Derrida, texts have no stable meaning. So what's the point? Read into it what you want to.
The original... more

| 4. The Animal That Therefore I Am (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy) |

By: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: Fordham University Press
June 01, 2008
This book assembles the entirety of Derrida's 1997 Cerisy address on the topic of that conference (dedicated to discussing his work) "The Autobiographical Animal." That said, it still remains an unbelievable unfinished work. While humorously (and seriously) talking about a cat seeing him naked in the morning in the bathroom, or watching a TV show on a cat, or entering the bedroom while Derrida is with... more

By: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: Routledge
May 25, 2006
Derrida shows how Marxist and deconstructionist politics are relevant again to thinkers in the 1990s through 'spectropoetics.' If nothing else, the book reminds us that just as Hamlet is haunted by his father's ghost, so are we haunted by the legacy of Marxism. ... more

| 10. Margins of Philosophy |
|
By: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press
January 01, 1985
Jacques Derrida is the most significant philosophical figure in what is too blithely referred to as poststructuralist thought. An amazon.com review is not the place to go into a discussion of whether Derrida is "right" or "wrong," but he is indisputably one of the most important postmodern philosophers, and an awareness of his thought, however cursory, is indispensable if you are serious about philosophizing... more
