This is the only available collection of Jacques Derrida's contributions to philosophy, presented with a comprehensive introduction. From Speech and Phenomena to the highly influential "Signature Event Context," each excerpt includes an overview and brief summary.

An extraordinary, subtle and informative anthology . . . .The work is presented scrupulously, generously, with consummate art and skill, and will stand as a benchmark for Derrida studies for some time to come. (Substance)

In an unprecedented style of intense, testamentary reverence, [Derrida´s] works honor the traditions which have been bequeathed to us while they anticipate and welcome a democracy to come. (Avital Ronell, New York University)
