Limited Inc, Paperback/Jacques Derrida

Descriere

Limited Inc is a major work in the philosophy of language by the celebrated French thinker Jacques Derrida. The book's two essays, "Limited Inc" and "Signature Event Context," constitute key statements of the Derridean theory of deconstruction. They are the clearest exposition to be found of Derrida's most controversial idea, that linguistic meaning is fundamentally indeterminate because the contexts that fix meaning are never stable. Limited Inc includes an important new afterword by the author. About the Author: Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was professor of philosophy at the Ecole Normale Superieure of the University of Paris. Best known as the founder of deconstruction, his work had a profound impact on literary theory and continental philosophy.
