Derrida and Deconstruction
A very well-written guide outlining the fascinating theories of French philosopher Jaques Derrida. Trying to understand Deconstructionalism can really mess with your head, but this page uses plenty of analogies to explain just what Derrida talks about. It focuses on his essay Structure, Sign and Play, and is definitely worth reading more than once.
