This book is informative, faithful, rigorous in its readings, explication, and commentary, and original in its problematization. It is an excellent account of the two writers and a new theoretical advance. I recommend it with the warmest confidence.' Jacques Derrida Henry Staten's Wittgenstein and Derrida' is an extremely good study in a number of ways. It is the first study to provide a clear, sympathetic and sustained account of the work of Derrida and Wittgenstein, specifically in the context of deconstruction. This entails arguing that Wittgenstein is unique among Derrida's predecessors in having achieved, in the period beginning with the Blue Book' a consistently deconstructive standpoint'. Staten's book is also to be welcomed for its very thorough exposition of the relation of Derrida's work to Husserl and phenomenology.' The Year's Work in English Studies
