The Deconstruction of Time

by David Wood

The Deconstruction of Time is the first book to examine what has become the fundamental, even defining, project in Continental double rethinking. Begun by Edmund Husserl, this area of inquiry in part seeks to rethink time in terms of our experience of it; a second aspect, begun by Martin Heidegger, is an attempt to rethink ourselves (and philosophy itself) in terms of the results of that initial rethinking.
