Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringJacques Derrida had a major influence on 20th century philosophy and the idea of postmodernism. Challenging some of the deepest assumptions of the Western philosophical tradition, he is most renowned-or condemned-for his engagement with the movement that he called 'deconstruction.'In this Very Short Introduction, Simon Glendinning explores both the difficulty and significance of the work of Derrida.
