This is the first guide to clearly explain the structure of his argument, step by step.Key FeaturesIntroduces you to Derrida's historical context, with special attention to the importance of Husserl’s thoughtProvides careful, critical commentary of his text from start to finish, explaining the key arguments and problems as you go Shows how the concepts used in Voice and Phenomenon paved the way for Derrida’s future worksIncludes a glossary, further reading and descriptions of some of Derrida’s ethical and political concepts from his later writings
