Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Post-structuralism rejects the idea of a literary text having a single purpose, a single meaning, or one singular existence. A modern school of thought developed primarily by Jacques Derrida, it is one of the major driving forces in philosophy today. The book analysis the basic concepts of this philosophy, and studies the famous poststructuralist work, 'The Death of the Author' by Roland Barthes.
