Ecart & Difference Merleau-Ponty and Derrida on Seeing and Writing

Merleau-Ponty and Derrida articulate two overlapping but divergent ways of thinking about differentiation, écart and différance. This volume represents the viewpoints of fifteen leading North American scholars working in the fields of Continental philosophy, phenomenology, and postmodernism. These scholars, in essays written expressly for this volume, address the matrix of thought underlying contemporary responses to postmodernsim at large and deconstructionism in particular: identity and difference, community and alterity, self and other, metaphysics and its closure, language and its beyond, signification and referentiality.Dillon, M. C. is the author of 'Ecart & Difference Merleau-Ponty and Derrida on Seeing and Writing' with ISBN 9781573925846 and ISBN 1573925845.
