Lane examines the early philosophical receptions to the work of Jacques Derrida, structuring the receptions in the form of an archive. The functions of the archive (critique, exclusion, patricide, and pedagogy) are described, and the philosophical receptions are related to Derrida's comments on "Colleges and Philosophy" and the essay "The Principle of Reason." The text is based upon the author's doctoral thesis at Debrecen University. The volume, which does not contain an index, is distributed in the US by ISBS.
