In three exemplary essays, author Peter Bornedal promotes
Deconstruction as a cogent analytical method whose distinctive
critical object is foundational knowledge. In this, he wants to
restore Deconstruction as a rational discourse, while continuing to
emphasize it as a critique of metaphysics. Two of the essays
discuss the works of Paul Grice and Jurgen Habermas and their
theories on language and communication. In these essays, the author
demonstrates that despite the attempts of Grice and Habermas to
give ontological foundations for inherent communicative
rationality, their endeavors are unsuccessful. The third essay
discusses John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism and argues that Mill's
attempts to decide what is in principle good remain futile and
incomplete. Ultimately, Bornedal argues that we cannot give
metaphysical reasons for rationality or the good life. We can only
decide to pursue these ideals, but there is nothing beyond the
decision that makes the pursuit necessary or inherent. According to
this position, Deconstruction becomes a kind of Pragmatism; or, as
the author states, by way of paradox, "Analytic Deconstruction
gives Pragmatism a scientific foundation."
