Abstract:
Derrida’s deconstruction is closely related to Heidegger’s programme of Destruktion, philosophy of difference and formulation of the claim of transcending metaphysics. In spite of the similarities and differences of Destruktion and deconstruction, Heidegger’s thinking proves to be unavoidable for Derrida. Nevertheless Derrida’s deconstruction can be interpreted as the deconstruction of the Heideggerian Destruktion. This study will outline the central points of the philosophy of Destruktion and deconstruction.
