Reviews

[Joseph Lewis]

Good explanation of Derrida’s philosophy as a part of the Phenomenological tradition, and a critique/alternative to Platonism. Strong explanation of Hegel’s philosophic methods in the first few chapters, perhaps more time could have been spent on Heidegger owing to the importance of him to the book. This however could be because a basic familiarity with Heidegger is excepted, which I lack, so it might just be on me.
