Book Summary of Theory after Derrida : essays in critical praxis
A critical anthology that re-examines jaques Derrida`s thought by way of theory andpraxis, this volume reflects on his striking legacy and the future of theory, examining not just the status of Derrida`s contribution as a critical thinker but also the status of critical theory as such. It attempts to capture how Derrida sought to interrogate fundamental assumptions of Western philosophical thought. The central question that it asks is : should we dismiss Derrida as a thinker who espused an extreme form of relativism bordering on nihilism, or has he something fundamental to contribute to the future of theory? Is there something to suggest that deconstruction is not destruction but a possibility that casts doubts on whether the present can have faith in future? Bringing afresh Derrida`s thought in the contemporary milieu, the volume attempts to address these and other important concerns of out times such as religious practice, art and aesthetics, translation, sociology of philosophy and democracy.
