201624131New York City NY: Polity Press 2016. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Polity Press 2016. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 700 pages. Massive Biography on subject. One of the best books among so many out there on the life and achievement of Jacques Derrida. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Benoit Peeters' "Derrida: A Biography" in a felicitous English translation. A "deconstruction" of the founder of deconstruction. "Tells the story of a Jewish boy from Algiers excluded from school at the age of twelve who went on to become the most widely translated philosopher in the world: A vulnerable tormented man who throughout his life continued to see himself as unwelcome in the French university system. We are plunged into the different worlds in which Derrida lived and worked: Pre-independence Algeria the microcosm of the Ecole Normale Superieure the cluster of structuralist thinkers and the turbulent events of 1968 and after. We meet the remarkable series of leading writers and philosophers with whom Derrida struck up a friendship: Louis Althusser Emmanuel Levinas Jean Genet and Helene Cixous among others. We also witness an equally long series of often brutal polemics fought over crucial issues with thinkers such as Michel Foucault Jacques Lacan John R. Searle and Jurgen Habermas as well as several controversies that went far beyond academia the best known of which concerned Heidegger and Paul de Man. We follow a series of courageous political commitments in support of Nelson Mandela illegal immigrants and gay marriage. And we watch as a concept - deconstruction - takes wing and exerts an extraordinary influence beyond the philosophical world on literary studies architecture law theology feminism queer theory and postcolonial studies" Pubisher's blurb. An absolute "must-have" title for Jacques Derrida collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. This is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws "Very Good". This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER JACQUES DERRIDA TITLE IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 0745656153. Polity Press hardcover
