Derrida

Jacques Derrida was a French philosopher known for developing deconstruction, a method of analyzing texts and ideas. He argued that meaning is never fixed or absolute but always shifting because words and concepts rely on other words for their meaning. This interconnectedness means that interpretations can vary, and every text contains multiple layers of meaning. Derrida's work challenges traditional ideas of clear, stable truth, encouraging us to see the complexity and ambiguity in language, culture, and philosophy. His insights highlight that understanding is an ongoing, dynamic process rather than a straightforward discovery.
