But he is most renowned--or condemned--for his critical technique known as \"deconstruction.\" In this \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e, Simon Glendinning explores both the difficulty and significance of the work of Derrida. He argues that Derrida's challenging ideas make a significant contribution to, and providing a powerful reading of, our philosophical heritage. Defending Derrida against many of the attacks from the analytical philosophical community, he attempts to show why Derrida's work causes such extreme reactions. The author explains Derrida's distinctive mode of engagement with our philosophical tradition, and contends that this is not a merely negative thing. By\u003cbr\u003eexploring his most famous and influential texts, Glendinning shows how and why Derrida's work of deconstruction is inspired not by a \"critical frenzy,\" but by a loving respect for philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimon Glendinning\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in European Philosophy, European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 6.7 x 4.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403392708913,"sku":"9780192803450","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/c3pRNkVxamppL2V6ZWFQQS8wLzBWUT09.webp?v=1768917965","url":"https:\/\/www.welibooks.com\/products\/derrida-a-very-short-introduction-paperback","provider":"Welibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
