What Is Deconstruction?

Показать описание

Deconstruction is a critical theory and philosophical approach primarily associated with the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Developed in the 1960s, deconstruction seeks to uncover and challenge the underlying assumptions, binaries, and inherent contradictions within texts and philosophical concepts. It examines the instability of language and meaning, suggesting that language lacks the capacity to provide direct access to truth. Deconstruction posits that meanings are always deferred, constantly shifting, and subject to interpretation, making definitive readings of texts impossible. By revealing the multiple interpretations and hidden complexities within language, deconstruction aims to expose the layers of meaning that are often concealed by the apparent straightforwardness of written or spoken discourse.
