Jacques Derrida

This collection of essays on Jacques Derrida, first published in 2004, spans nearly thirty years of critical thinking about Derridas work. The articles selected here have never previously been collected, yet they are significant contributions that illuminate difficult and important aspects of Derridas writings. While not seeking to be comprehensive, the volume ranges over the entirety of Derridas published output and addresses a number of crucial topics, including literature, iterability, the signature, time, alterity, Judaism, metaphor and death. Reprinted here in chronological order of first publication, the essays are complemented by an introduction by Ian MacIachlan which discusses the significance of Derridas work for our critical thinking.
