Philosophy of Time and Media with Jacques Derrida and Richard Rorty ABSTRACT: This paper is divided into four sections. The first provides a survey of some significant developments which today determine philosophical dealings with the subject of 'time.' In the second part it is shown how the question of time and the question of media are linked with one another in the views of two contemporary philosophers: Jacques Derrida and Richard Rorty. In section three, the temporal implications of cultural
Classical Greek Philosophical Paideia in Light of the Postmodern Occidentalism of Jacques Derrida ABSTRACT: In his writings during the 60s and 70s, Derrida situates his doctrine of différance in the context of a radical critique of the Western philosophical tradition. This critique rests on a scathing criticism of the tradition as logocentric/phallogocentric. Often speaking in a postured, Übermenschean manner, Derrida claimed that his 'new' aporetic philosophy of différance would help bring about

The relevant question for heuretic reading is not the one guiding criticism (according to the theories of Freud, Marx, Wittgenstein, Derrida, and others: What might be the meaning of an existing work?) but one guiding a generative experiment: Based on a given theory, how might another text be compos... ... middle of paper ... ...n: Indiana University Press.

In Jacques Derrida’s On Grammatology, logocentric hermeneutics are critiqued and deconstructed alongside Derrida’s consideration of Western philosophy and the ‘metaphysics of presence.’ Derrida points out the main limitation of logocentric theory being the promotion that writing is exterior to speech, and that speech is exterior to thought. He argues
the core idea of Jacques Derrida’s philosophy. And Derrida’s philosophical theory on Deconstruction is also the main part in this realm. The word “deconstruction” is always tied with the name Derrida. The background of Derrida’s philosophy on deconstruction is that some people think the structure of the philosophy is perfect and has no space to develop. Some scholars consider that the philosophy reached its limitation and was dying. ‘人们谈的最多的是哲学的局限，有时甚至是哲学的“终结”和“死亡”’（2）Derrida, Jacques Écriture et la

Our thinking is derived from meaning and only our communication may seem above the signified objects our mind sees because it’s another order in itself.

philosophers. Critics typically charge postmodernism with holding subjectivity to higher ground than objectivity, that postmodernism is exclusively relativist in that it questions the unity of an objective reality. That is only partially the case; Jacques Derrida, one of the more influential writers on contemporary postmodernist thinkers, suggests that even the unity of a Subject is suspect. Historically, many sociologists have seen society as derived from Subject with the implication of axiomatic inalienable
Deconstructive Analysis: The Yellow Wall Paper Deconstruction or poststructuralist is a type of literary criticism that took its roots in the 1960’s. Jacques Derrida gave birth to the theory when he set out to demonstrate that all language is associated with mental images that we produce due to previous experiences. This system of literary scrutiny interprets meaning as effects from variances between words rather than their indication to the things they represent. This philosophical theory strives
In this essay I’ll be looking at Derrida’s claim about Narcissism in relation to two characters in Toni Morrisons,” Jazz”, Joe Trace and Golden Grey. In order to do this, first I will be outlining what Narcissism entails. Jacques Derrida infused the teachings of Sigmund Freud about narcissism, with his own deconstructive version of the Hegelian dilemma of the beautiful soul. “Freud’s paper on ‘On Narcissism’ lets us know that he was beginning to perceive cases of what he calls ‘secondary narcissism’…

He believes that Pheadrus should not only be studied based upon the words within the piece, but also those that are missing. After making this distinction Derrida introduces the pharmakon’s synonym, “pharmakos” which can be defined as a magician or poisoner. He carries on to provide another definition for the same word, scapegoat. After this connection he includes factual information concerning the Athenian
Within his novel The Wars, Timothy Findley, deconstructs the concept of friend and enemy. Jacques Derrida, the founder of deconstruction stated, “Deconstruction takes place, it is an event that does not await the deliberation, consciousness or organization of a subject, or even of modernity. It deconstructs it-self. It can be deconstructed.” (Mapp, 781). Jacques Derrida believed deconstruction happens on its own, and therefore one does not need to consciously deconstruct a text, as it is an unconscious

Our purpose is to introduce it into the practice of consulting in general, and public policy formation in particular. Several features of the recent work of Jacques Derrida (the Philosopher responsible for deconstruction) are relevant to our design of a Problem Tour. Problem A deconstructive approach to problem solving puts in question the concept of "problem" and the notion of "solution." "Problema can signify
Language Games, Writing Games - Wittgenstein and Derrida: A Comparative Study ABSTRACT: The concept of deconstruction was first used by Derrida in transforming Heideggerian "destruction." The deconstruction of Derrida is a textintern, intertextual, in-textual activity. He plays a double game inside of philosophy, emphasizing that our thinking is embedded in metaphysics, while at the same moment he questions metaphysics. Wittgenstein's deconstruction, however, involves a new kind of reading,
Jacques Derrida was a french philosopher, best known for his semiotic theory of "Deconstruction." The term surfaced in he world of design journalism in the mid-1980's, questioning the place of modern design in the theory of deconstruction. Derrida introduced the concept of 'deconstruction' in the 'Book of Grammatology,' published in France in 1967. In this theory, deconstruction questions how representation inhibiits reality. How does the surface get under the skin? In the Western fields of science
with the Fall of Icarus, which then received famous treatment in the twentieth century by W. H. Auden in his poem "Musée Des Beaux Arts." These three works provide a beautiful, laboratory-quality arena in which to apply various deconstructive ideas: Jacques Derrida's theories of translation and the "dangerous supplement" and Roland Barthes' conception of the myth as language. However, such an inheritance necessarily extends to include the critical work that draws it together.
Timothy Findley Creates a fictional world through his novels, where readers can relate to the situations and characters. The protagonists that Findley creates are often similar and connected to the hardships that they eventually encounter and defeat or that which they are defeated by. Findley takes his readers back in time to the First World War, displaying his knowledge of history and research, where the hardships of a young soldier’s battles internally and externally are brought to the reader’s
Deconstruction in Architecture Deconstruction is first developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. The definition for deconstruction is not easy to understand, and Derrida and his interpreters actually intend it to be difficult. It was first meant a method of interpretation and analysis of a text or a speech. He introduced the concept of deconstruction in connection with his linguistic philosophy and grammatology. When deconstruct a text or a speech, it is to draw out conflicting logics
Deconstruction is founded by Jacques Derrida in the late 1960.It supplies to think more critically for a Literary work but to achieve this, some important steps are to be known.This paper will try to make a deconstructive reading on the poem of “ Cross” by Langston Hughes by using these important steps respectively. According to Tyson, deconstructive reading aims to Show the undecidability and the complexities of a text’s ideology.These two goals mean being suggestive, plural meaning, disunity,
reader has no choice but to question their belief in her affections. The influence and energy of this poem is therefore abridged by this ambiguity, due to the lack of absolute meaning in language, as illustrated by the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.
“Humanists claim that the meaning of a thing is inherent in the thing itself, and that language simply labels what already exists. Poststructuralists, on the other hand, argue naming is constitutive and that the meaning is culturally and socially produced”. These two large scales of meaning making, that are humanism and post-structuralism, have competing perspectives of the way ideals, beliefs and practises are produced and constructed and arguments are made in support for and against these notions
