Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), one of the most famous philosophers of the latter part of the twentieth century, was the founder of deconstruction. The most recent of his many texts to have been translated into English at Stanford University Press are Copy, Archive, Signature (2010) and Psyche: Inventions of the Other (Volume I, 2007; Volume II, 2008).

"The four essays on Maurice Blanchot that are collected here (written between 1976 and 79) constitute some of Derrida's most memorable writing, and attest to Blanchot's enormous influence on Derrida as a thinker and author . . . Highly recommended."—N. Lukacher, CHOICE
