Book Synopsis
The author argues that deconstruction is a form of radical, anti-scientific modernity, while in contrast poststructuralism is a type of postmodern theory inflected by changes in technology and the mode of information.

Trade Review
"This is a superbly strong work that will generate much discussion. There are no comparable books that have undertaken such a rereading of the development of French theory and its emergence in response to phenomenology. Most other studies tend to focus on just deconstruction or Derrida, and many of these are already dated. None have the extensive coverage and knowledge of the French intellectual scene exhibited here." -- David F. Ferris * University of Colorado at Boulder *
"This book is a carefully crafted and extremely erudite study of the forgotten connections between existential phenomenology and French deconstruction....it represents a major contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century French intellectual history, and holds many rewards for readers possessing a prior knowledge of the subject." -- The Dalhousie Review
