"This collection contains lucid and penetrating essays by a number of prominent scholars on the thought of Jacques Derrida. It not only provides an extraordinary exegesis on the fundamental concepts in Derrida's thought, but also places Derrida's work in a critical context. Without exaggeration, this volume is the most comprehensive and penetrating collection on the thought of Derrida to date."
--Peg Birmingham, DePaul University

"This superb volume brings together some of Derrida's leading critics, commentators and interlocutors to provide a comprehensive overview of his work. The 35 chapters are a testament to the breadth and depth of Derrida's work and a helpful guide to his fundamental concepts and abiding concerns. This volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Derrida."
