Description
What If Derrida was Wrong about Saussure? by Russell Daylight is an in-depth analysis of Jacques Derrida's philosophical reconstruction of Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistics. This book examines the paradigm shift from structuralism to post-structuralism and its ongoing impact on various fields, including cultural studies, philosophy, and literary theory. Derrida's critique of Saussure has been highly influential, yet a comprehensive analysis of this topic has been lacking. This long-overdue commentary explores key themes such as the originality of Saussure within Western metaphysics, the relationship between speech and writing, and linguistic relativism. Daylight's work poses new questions to structuralism and post-structuralism, opening up exciting new terrain in linguistic and political thought. A valuable resource for those seeking to understand the encounter between Derrida and Saussure, this book offers a close reading of their ideas and their ongoing relevance.
