{"product_id":"jacques-derrida-geoffrey-bennington-9780226042626","title":"Jacques Derrida","description":"This extraordinary book offers a clear and compelling biography of Jacques Derrida along with one of Derrida's strangest and most unexpected texts. Geoffrey Bennington's account of Derrida leads the reader through the philosopher's familiar yet widely misunderstood work on language and writing to the less familiar themes of signature, sexual difference, law, and affirmation. In an unusual and unprecedented \"dialogue,\" Derrida responds to Bennington's text by interweaving Bennington's text with surprising and disruptive \"periphrases.\" Truly original, this dual and dueling text opens new dimensions in Derrida's thought and work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Bennington is a shrewd and well-informed commentator whose book should do something to convince the skeptics . . . that Jacques Derrida's work merits serious attention.\"--Christopher Norris, \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Geoffrey Bennington and Jacques Derrida have presented a fascinating example of what might be called post-structuralist autobiography.\"--Laurie Volpe, \u003ci\u003eFrench Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Bennington's account of what Derrida is up to is better in almost all respects--more intelligent, more plausible, more readable, and less pretentious--than any other I have read.\"--Richard Rorty, \u003ci\u003eContemporary Literature\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Bennington, Jacques Derrida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226042626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226042626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.28w x 0.80d","brand":"Geoffrey Bennington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990111617279,"sku":"9780226042626","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c22e38b1-72cd-4667-ab23-cac5178e3ad0.jpg?v=1683303059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jacques-derrida-geoffrey-bennington-9780226042626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
