In reproducing neither a inventory phenomenological response to deconstruction nor the regimen deconstructive analyzing of phenomenology, Christopher Watkin offers a clean review of the probabilities for the way forward for phenomenology, besides a brand new analyzing of the deconstructive legacy. via special reviews of the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Ricur and Nancy, he indicates how a phenomenological culture a lot wider and richer than Husserlian or Heideggerean proposal by myself can take account of Derrida's critique of ontology and but nonetheless carry a dedication to the ontological.
This new analyzing of being and presence essentially re-draws our knowing of the relation of deconstruction and phenomenology, and offers the 1st sustained dialogue of the chances and difficulties for any destiny 'deconstructive phenomenology'
