Derrida addressed political questions more and more explicitly in his writing, yet there is still confusion over the politics of deconstruction. Alex Thomson argues for a fresh understanding of Derrida's work, which acknowledges both the political dimension of deconstruction and its potential contribution to our thinking about politics. The book provides cogent analysis and exegesis of Derrida's political writings; explores the implications for political theory and practice of Derrida's work; and brings Derrida's work into dialogue with other major strands of contemporary political thought. Deconstruction and Democracy is the clearest and most detailed engagement available with the politics of deconstruction, and is a major contribution to scholarship on the later works of Jacques Derrida, most notably his Politics of Friendship 410 0$aContinuum studies in Continental philosophy. 606 $aFriendship 606 $2Deconstructionism, Structuralism, Post-structuralism 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 615 0$aFriendship. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 676 $a321.8/092 700 $aThomson$b A.
