About the Book

Jacques Derrida and Richard Rorty are two of the most famous living philosophers. Deconstruction and pragmatism are the two major intellectual traditions whose current influence would be unthinkable without their work. This ground-breaking book brings these two thinkers together in a critical confrontation between these two traditions. Derridean deconstruction and Rortian pragmatism are both accused by their enemies of undermining our ideas of truth and reason, but do their ideas lead to intellectual and political chaos? Both seek to clarify what is at stake intellectually and politically while two other distinguished theorists, Simon Critchley and Ernesto Laclau, provide a critical context for their debate and bring out the importance of the convergences and differences between the two.

About the Author :
Chantal Mouffe is a Senior Research Fellow at acknowledgement Centre for the Study of Democracy at the University of Westminster.

Review :
"Chantal Mouffe should be commended for her work in putting this excellent collection of essays together. It offers a serious challenge to rationalist conceptions of democracy and also gives readers a good idea of the conflicts and convergences between the deconstructionist and pragmatist approaches to politics." -"American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly "In recent years there have been some striking convergences between Pragmatism and Deconstruction. But there are also significant ways in which these philosophical orientations swerve away from each other and seem incommensurable. Chantal Mouffe's lucid introduction sets the stage for a lively exchange between Richard Rorty and Jacques Derrida. Their crossfire is enriched by the contributions of Simon Critchley and Ernest Laclau. Altogether a splendid and illuminating feast of agnostic debate." -Richard J. Bernstein, Vera List Professor of Philosophy, Graduate Faculty, New School for Social Research
