Book Description
In this powerful study Edward Baring sheds fresh light on Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential yet controversial intellectuals of the twentieth century. Reading Derrida from a historical perspective and drawing on new archival sources, The Young Derrida and French Philosophy shows how Derrida's thought arose in the closely contested space of post-war French intellectual life, developing in response to Sartrian existentialism, religious philosophy and the structuralism that found its base at the École Normale Supérieure. In a history of the philosophical movements and academic institutions of post-war France, Baring paints a portrait of a community caught between humanism and anti-humanism, providing a radically new interpretation of the genesis of deconstruction and of one of the most vibrant intellectual moments of modern times.
"In this masterful book, [Baring] achieves the best picture available of the origins of deconstruction." -- Samuel Moyn, Jewish Review of Books
"Baring's clear and engaging style makes the book accessible to students, and, standing relatively independent, individual chapters or subsections would make excellent secondary reading in graduate and advanced undergraduate classes." -- Samir Haddad, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"a thought-provoking landmark in Derrida criticism" -- Laurent Milesi, Modern & Contemporary France
"[a] meticulous archival reconstruction of [Derrida's] early intellectual itinerary" -- Peggy Kamuf, Los Angeles Review of Books
"[An] impressive contribution to the long-awaited historiography of French theory." -- Julian Bourg, American Historical Review
"The Young Derrida is an exemplary work of intellectual history... [providing] virtuoso analysis of Derrida's writings, from his early essays to his mature works of the mid-sixties." -- Michael Kelly, H-France
