Jacques Derrida, the inventor of “deconstruction”—an ill-defined habit of dismantling texts by revealing their assumptions and contradictions—is one of the most cited modern scholars in the humanities. He is also one of the most controversial, as many find his work to be absurd, vapid and pernicious. The intellectual was born on July 15th 1930
英國利用英文，成為世界市場之驕子，在教育界服務商品相當多?
譬如說， 編出許多經濟/管理/哲學等大家的"論集" 和字典等等。
可惜定價都相當高。
不過，一本百來多頁的哲學家辭典， 賣60英鎊，對許多大學還是很可接受的

Reviews
“Simon Morgan Wortham’s Derrida Dictionary is a spectacular intellectual accomplishment. He has amazing mastery of all Derrida’s multitudinous writings (about seventy books, an immense number of articles and interviews). Perhaps the highest praise I can make of this extraordinary and extraordinarily valuable book is that each entry, rather than closing the door on a given Derridean topic, makes you want to go back and read or reread for yourself Archive Fever or Paper Machine or Without Alibi, and all the rest of those seventy books.” – J. Hillis Miller, Distinguished Research Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Irvine, USA, author of For Derrida (Fordham, 2009)
“This is no ordinary dictionary. Simon Morgan Wortham provides not only comprehensive, rigorously defined, and well-contextualised terms that cross-reference other terms and books across the corpus of Derrida's work, but in the process offers a lucid exposition of Derrida’s work itself.” – Nicole Anderson, Co-Editor/Founder Derrida Today journal, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
“Simon Morgan Wortham’s dictionary is much more than a dictionary; it is, above all, a remarkable collection of short essays on Derrida’s major works and concepts that will serve as valuable introductions to newcomers and useful reminders to those already familiar with Derrida’s writings. Doing full justice to all periods and areas of Derrida’s work, it succeeds in showing both his extraordinary range and the connections and continuities that link his various ventures in thought.” – Derek Attridge, University of York, UK
'Simon Morgan Wortham’s Dictionary is an indispensable tool for anyone entering or continuing to work in theory. For those of us who have been doing so for some time, the Dictionary serves as a reminder of how timely Derrida’s work was and is: a Derrida Dictionary for today and very much for tomorrow.' -- Derrida Today

Jacques Derrida's library goes to Princeton
Quel difference! Jacques Derrida's library has landed at Princeton
The personal library of Jacques Derrida, the father of Deconstructionism, has abandoned France for New Jersey.
Princeton has acquired the library, consisting of 13,800 books and other materials. The university took delivery of the materials on March 19.
Derrida, who died in 2004, was a literary critic and philosopher who moved to France from Algeria in 1949. He wrote in French, and he's commonly thought of as a French theorist.
Nevertheless, his library is now in New Jersey. Many of the volumes are full of notes in Derrida's hand. He once explained that his books bear "traces of the violence of pencil strokes, exclamation points, arrows and underlining."
Princeton professor Hal Foster, co-director of the university's Program in Media and Modernity, said in a release, "Derrida developed his own thought through a meticulous engagement with other thinkers, past and present, thinkers who at once constitute the Western traditions of philosophy and literature and defy them (indeed they constitute them in part because they defied them). What a boon it is for us at Princeton to have his notes on these thinkers and writers, to see the master of textuality perform, as it were, on other master texts."
As the Derrida materials are processed, they will be added to the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Princeton's Firestone Library, where they will be available to scholars.

近日，美國普林斯頓大學圖書館網站發布消息，解構主義大師、當代最重要的哲學家之一、法籍猶太裔學者雅克·德里達的私人圖書館，由法國里斯-奧朗吉斯（Ris Orangis）的德里達私人寓所，轉至美國普林斯頓大學的主圖書館燧石圖書館（Firestone Library）接收。德里達私人圖書館包括13800冊左右的藏書，以及很多其他資料，再現了德里達一生的閱讀和思辨歷程。
法國里斯-奧朗吉斯（Ris Orangis）的德里達私人寓所，藏書一瞥。
雅克·德里達（Jacques Derrida ，1930-2004）被認為是“解構主義”思潮的代表、鼻祖，他在1967年提出這一概念，用以批判產生自語言學的“結構主義”範式。他所獨創的術語延異（la différance）是解構主義理論的核心概念。其著作涉及哲學、文學批評、藝術、建築、語言學及政治理論等多種領域，並深深影響了人們認知世界的方式。
雖然在伯努瓦·皮特斯撰寫的《德里達傳》中，德里達曾因自己太愛看電視浪費了讀書時間而懊惱，不過，在有限的時間裡，德里達讀書是相當高效的（但是對於德里達自己來說，這並不是好事）。
他在接受采訪時曾說，他的書不得不忍受“鉛筆的暴烈痕跡，驚嘆號、箭頭、下劃線”，閱讀已經是工作，是他寫作的第一步。
“我閱讀時頭腦裡帶著計劃。我很少不帶目的性地閱讀，因此我的閱讀是主動的，有選擇的，太有選擇，不夠被動……我讀書時很不耐煩，這種選擇性的不耐煩很快讓我付出了很大的代價：很可能有許多不公正和疏忽。但經常，翻到一本書的中間時，這種不耐煩把我扔到了我正在找的地方，或者我不知道我在尋找而我找到了……我發覺我在就一部文學作品寫作時才開始讀它，我的初次閱讀由斷續的微光組成，十分疏漏……從根本上來說是教學讓我閱讀。”
德里達在寓所書房的留影。
德里達讀過的書常常佈滿了標記，那麼，隨著私人藏書入駐普林斯頓，對於學術界來說，普林斯頓很可能成為全世界的德里達研究中心。
普林斯頓大學的校級特聘歷史學講座教授、前美國歷史學會主席安東尼·格拉夫頓（Anthony Grafton ）對於德里達私人圖書館進入普林斯頓大學評論說，這些原創性極強、影響深遠的學者的私人圖書館“為我們展示了這些學者在書桌前對其他偉大頭腦的回應。通過閱讀頁邊的註釋，我們便站在了這些學者的肩膀上，身臨其境地聆聽他和作者的爭論。對於學者和研究者來說，非常棒的地方在於，這些材料將能夠重建德里達在整個人文傳統中的位置”。
德里達在羅蘭·巴特《論拉辛》上的筆記。
這批資料是今年3月19日從巴黎運抵普林斯頓，之前普林斯頓曾派出專家組對這些資料進行清理。目前，這批資料保存在普林斯頓燧石圖書館的“珍本圖書與特別收藏部門”（Department of Rare Books and Special Collections），除了這批珍貴的德里達的私人藏書，這裡還收集了大量的私人藏書及手稿，包括2014年接收的諾貝爾文學獎得主托尼·莫里森、1995年接收的西班牙語世界最出名的散文家及小說家之一卡洛斯·富恩特斯（Carlos Fuentes）的私人藏書及手稿，等等。
