Of grammatology
Book • 2016
In *Of Grammatology*, Jacques Derrida critiques traditional Western philosophy by challenging the binary oppositions and logocentrism that underpin it.
He argues that these oppositions, such as speech vs.
writing, are not fixed but interdependent and can be deconstructed.
Derrida uses the works of Rousseau and Lévi-Strauss to illustrate his points and proposes a new science of writing, or grammatology, which seeks to understand the complex play of signs and meanings.
The book is a seminal work in deconstruction and has had a significant impact on contemporary philosophy, literary theory, and intellectual history.
