The paperback edition of a work first published in 1981, this book is intended for students of literary criticism, linguistics and philosophy. It provides Derrida's most central and seminal works: "La Pharmacie de Platon", "La Double Seance" and "La Dessemination". The essays provide original readings of Mallarme and present a re-evaluation of the logic of meaning and the function of writing in Western discourse.

Derrida joins in the revelry, weaving a complex pattern of puns, verbal echoes and allusions, intended to 'deconstruct' both the pretension of criticism to tell the truth about literature, and the pretension of philosophy to be the literature of truth.
Barbara Johnson is a professor of English and Comparative Literature at Harvard University.
