In this study, Paola Marrati approaches--in an extremely
insightful, rigorous, and well-argued way--the question of the
philosophical sources of Derrida's thought through a consideration
of his reading of both Husserl and Heidegger. A central focus of
the book is the analysis of the concepts of genesis and trace as
they define Derrida's thinking of historicity, time, and
subjectivity. Notions such as the contamination of the empirical
and the transcendental, dissemination and writing, are explained as
key categories establishing a guiding thread that runs through
Derrida's early and later works. Whereas in his discussion of
Husserl Derrida problematizes the relationship between the ideality
of meaning and the singularity of its historical production, in his
interpretation of Heidegger he challenges the very idea of the
originary finitude of temporality.
This book is essential reading not only for those interested in the
philosophical roots of deconstruction, but for all those interested
in the central questions of history and temporality, subjectivity
and language, that pervade contemporary debates in cultural,
literary, and visual theory alike.
