ANARCHIST RECEPTION OF JACQUES DERRIDA'S PHILOSOPHY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The article presents a historical and philosophical overview, as well as a comparative analysis of several anarchist receptions and interpretations of the theoretical approach known as deconstructionism developed by the French thinker Jacques Derrida. Drawing on the writings of anarchist scholars and popularizers Saul Newman, Todd May, and Nathan June, the article highlights the intersections between Derrida's philosophy and anarchist thought. In particular, a significant part of the article is devoted to the phenomenon of postanarchism, which represents an attempt at a theoretical synthesis of the ideas of anarchism and poststructuralism. This article demonstrates how Derrida's deconstruction of Western metaphysics resonates with certain anarchist assumptions, both political and ethical, and thus becomes a productive resource for the analysis and critique of relations of domination and power.
