Description: The Deconstruction of Time is the first book to examine what has become the fundamental, even defining, project in Continental philosophy: double rethinking. Begun by Edmund Husserl, this area of inquiry in part seeks to rethink time in terms of our experience of it; a second aspect, begun by Martin Heidegger, is an attempt to rethink ourselves (and philosophy itself) in terms of the results of that initial rethinking.
Review Quotes: "This is an important book, the most important philosophical treatment of Derrida since Gasché's The Tain of the Mirror. . . . Wood's many essays on Derrida, written over the course of several years, have been contemporaneous with . . . Derrida's reception into a wider philosophical readership." --Paul Davies, DePaul University
