At the time of his death in 2004, Jacques Derrida was arguably the most influential and the most controversial thinker in contemporary philosophy. Deconstruction, the movement that he founded, has received as much criticism as admiration and provoked one of the most contentious philosophical debates of the twentieth century. Jacques Derrida: A Biography offers for the first time a complete biographical overview of this important philosopher, drawing on Derrida's own accounts of his life as well as the narratives of friends and colleagues. Powell explores Derrida's early life in Algeria, his higher education in Paris and his development as a thinker. Jacques Derrida: A Biography provides an essential and engaging account of this major philosopher's remarkable life and work.
This book explores the history and contemporary rise and consolidation of Feminism. Mainstream social theory is said to represent a partial and incomplete view of society and social relations. Such is the power of this critique that any theory which seeks to chart the contemporary terrain of society itself will itself be incomplete without due consideration being given to Feminism and its main themes and ideas. Feminism has had a major impact on social science. This text engages with conceptual development, historical formation, contemporary relevance and uses several examples from research to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Feminisms.
