Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up with unusual clarity and great eloquence such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, community, and the messianic. Derrida refutes the charges of relativism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics and sets forth the profoundly affirmative and ethico-political thrust of his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe roundtable is marked by an unusual clarity that continues into the second part of the book, in which one of Derrida's most influential readers, John D. Caputo, elaborates upon Derrida's comments and supplies material for further discussion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition also includes a substantial new Introduction by Caputo that discusses the original context of the book and traces the development of deconstruction since Derrida's death in 2004, from the rise of new materialisms to return to religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLong one of the most lucid and reliable introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any language, and an ideal volume for students, \u003ci\u003eDeconstruction in a Nutshell\u003c\/i\u003e will also prove illuminating for those already familiar with Derrida's work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Derrida (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJacques Derrida\u003c\/b\u003e was the single most influential voice in European philosophy for the last third of the twentieth century.
