Simon Critchley is Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He also teaches at Tilburg University and the European Graduate School.
"On its first appearance The Ethics of Deconstruction not only
helped to shape the English reception of both Levinas and Derrida,
but it also contributed to a reorienting of continental philosophy
toward ethical issues. The book was timely when it first appeared
and has not lost any of its initial relevance today. In fact with
the additional material added to this edition it is now all the
more valuable."--Robert Bernasconi, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of
Philosophy at Penn State University
"I celebrate this third edition of the classic book on ethics and
deconstruction that Critchley published over twenty years ago and
which has been widely reread and reviewed both in the
English-speaking world and well beyond it. This book was
pathbreaking, for it started a whole line of reflection on the
possible ethical implications of Derrida's work, that Derrida
himself encouraged in his later writings. Critchley's book remains
as crucial for the interpretation of deconstruction as it was in
its original version and I arnestly encourage a careful reading of
its main theses."--Ernesto Laclau, Emeritus Professor, University
of Essex
