A very good introduction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deconstruction and Critical Theory (Hardcover)
This book is a very good introduction to deconstruction - one of the best i have read. it not only synthesises lucidly and briefly the various trends of this critical theory, but show their literary and philosophical precursors as well. the last chapter which carefully disects the problems of deconstruction, and critically reappraises it, is especially helpful and illuminating. i recommend this highly to anyone who wants a solid introduction to this sometimes obscure theory, or as a refresher for seasoned deconstructionist who want an old-new take on it. one minor problem (very minor) persists throughout the text though - there seems to be quite a few typos!
