Speech and Phenomena
Book • 1973
"Speech and Phenomena" is a seminal work by Jacques Derrida that critiques Edmund Husserl's phenomenology.
Derrida challenges Husserl's concept of pure presence, arguing that language and writing inevitably mediate and alter our experience.
He introduces the notion of "différance," emphasizing the roles of difference and deferral in the constitution of meaning.
The book examines Husserl's theory of signs and the idea of a transcendental ego.
Derrida contends that there is no immediate access to consciousness or pure self-presence.
"Speech and Phenomena" is a key text in the development of deconstruction and post-structuralist thought, questioning the foundations of traditional metaphysics and epistemology.
