How does one start with Derrida? In this exciting and accessible
book, Sean Gaston presents a new kind of introduction to Jacques
Derrida, arguably the most important and influential European
thinker of the last century. Derrida claimed that 'However old I
am, I am on the threshold of reading Plato and Aristotle ...we need
to read them again and again and again.' In "Starting with
Derrida", Gaston introduces all Derrida's major works and ideas by
tracing Derrida's reading (and re-reading) of Plato, Aristotle and
Hegel throughout his writings. "Starting with Derrida" argues for
the importance of the relationship between philosophy, literature
and history in Derrida's work and addresses all the key concepts in
Derrida's thought, including his work on time and space, being and
the soul, sensation and thought, history and literature, the
concept and the name.The book encourages the reader to enter
Derrida's varied and complex legacy through the moments in
Derrida's work that are concerned with the question of origins and
beginnings. By actively engaging with Derrida's ideas in this way,
Gaston reveals a new and highly original reading of Derrida's work
and provides a useful introduction to his entire corpus. This
exciting new book is essential reading for students of philosophy
and literary theory and, indeed, anyone interested in the work of
this hugely important thinker.
