The Story of Jacques Derrida


Jacques Derrida, a marginal Jew, experienced in his life exclusion, marginalization, oppression and rejection. Primarily, his philosophy of deconstruction aimed to give concrete solution to his own personal political problems. From his own personal experiences, his philosophy gave hope to redeem the humanity from the clutches of the evil hunting the society. It is earthy philosophy as it interacts and interrupts with the everyday happenings. It starts rooting out evils from the heart of human being. It is for this very reason that it proceeds with love. Derrida, through his deconstruction commenced the journey of reality from the rigidity of the structures to the flexibility within the structures and from abstract to concrete to prove that philosophy is an autonomous discipline as it deals with everyday experiences. Human beings are always on the move to discover the truth and validity of their experiences. In this sense, deconstruction is another name for the infinite openness to affirm the dynamism and evolutionary nature of every reality. In other words, it is the constant uncovering of the different layers constructed by human thinking.
