Summary

Published in 1967, when Derrida is 37 years old, Voice and Phenomenon shows deconstruction engaged with the most important philosophical movement of the last hundred years: phenomenology. Only in relation to phenomenology is it possible to measure the importance of deconstruction. Only in relation to Husserl’s philosophy is it possible to understand the novelty of Derrida’s thinking.

Violence and Splendor by Alphonso Lingis

In subject and method, Alphonso Lingis's work has always defied easy categorization, largely owing to the interplay of theory and praxis inherent in his research. Violence and Splendor is a series of reflections grouped into five areas of inquiry: ""Spaces Within Spaces,"" ""Snares for the Eyes,"" ""The Sacred,"" ""Violence,"" and ""Splendor.

Alphonso Lingis is professor emeritus of philosophy at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of more than a dozen books (including Trust, published by Minnesota) and the translator of several works of French philosophy, including Merleau-Ponty's The Visible and the Invisible and Levinas's Totality and Infinity and Otherwise Than Being.

Tom Sparrow is assistant professor of philosophy at Slippery Rock University. He is the author and editor of several books, and coeditor of Itinerant Philosophy: On Alphonso Lingis.
