White Derrida customarily devotes his powers of analysis to exacting readings of texts from Plato and Aristotle to Freud and Heidegger  readers of Cinders will soon discover that here Derrida is engaged in a poetic self-analysis. Ranging across his numerous writings over the past twenty years  Derrida discerns a recurrent cluster of arguments and images  all involving in one way or another ashes and cinders. First published in 1982  revised in 1987  and printed here in a bilingual edition  Cinders enables readers to follow the development of Derridas thinking from 1968 to the present as it defines itself as a persistent questioning of origins that invariably leads to the thought of ash and cinder. Written in a highly condensed poetic style  Cinders reveals some of Derridas most probing etymological and philosophical reflections on the relation of language to the human. It also contains some of his most essential elaborations of his thinking on the feminine and on the legacy of the Holocaust in contemporary poetry and philosophy. Uniquely accessible to readers who have only recently begun to read Derrida and essential for all those familiar with Derridas work  Cinders is an evocative and thoughtful contribution to our understanding of deconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924682342453,"sku":"ByrdShop_0803216890","price":248.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803216891.jpg?v=1794139417","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cinders-9780803216891","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
