Derrida & Wittgenstein by S Lee
A critical comparison of two influential philosophers' approaches to language
"This is one of the better books in American PhilosophyThe evaluation of Wittgenstein is the best yet by far, and the devaluation of Derrida, despite the various compliments paid him, is quite devastating. Derrida and Wittgenstein is sure to get world attention." --Lionel Abel, Professor Emeritus, State University of New York, Buffalo "Derrida and Wittgenstein is civilized and decidedly intelligent and scrupulous. I am aware that all three epithets are usually dismissive. But I mean them as high compliments. You cannot read this book without entering into the joyful business of understanding the philosophical odyssey of the West--or learning that your best discoveries have indeed been tactually prepared for you by the unfolding text." --Joseph Margolis, Professor of Philosophy, Temple University "This is a fascinating and illuminating work, certain to be controversial. It brings Wittgenstein and Derrida into a common intellectual space shaped by, among other things, structuralism, Husserl, and medieval philosophy. It will be of interest to everyone concerned with Wittgenstein and Derrida, and philosophy of language generally." --John McCumber, Professor of Philosophy and German, Northwestern University
