EPZ Deconstruction and Criticism by Harold Bloom Pdf
Five essential and challenging essays by leading post-modern theorists on the art and nature of interpretation: Jacques Derrida, Harold Bloom, Geoffrey Hartman, Paul de Man, and J. Hillis Miller.
Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was Professor of Philosophy at l'Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. Regarded as the founding father of Deconstruction, his influence on contemporary thought has been enormous. His impact on philosophy and literary criticism was assured by the publication of Speech and Phenomena, Writing and Difference and Of Grammatology. Positions brings together three interviews with Derrida, outlining his central concerns and ideas. The interview format makes for an accessible exploration of Derrida's views on Marxism, semiology, psychoanalysis and linguistics, making this the best possible introduction to his work.
The basic story of the rise, reign, and fall of deconstruction as a literary and philosophical groundswell is well known among scholars. In this intellectual history, Gregory Jones-Katz aims to transform the broader understanding of a movement that has been frequently misunderstood, mischaracterized, and left for dead—even as its principles and influence transformed literary studies and a host of other fields in the humanities. Deconstruction begins well before Jacques Derrida’s initial American presentation of his deconstructive work in a famed lecture at Johns Hopkins University in 1966 and continues through several decades of theoretic growth and tumult. While much of the subsequent story remains focused, inevitably, on Yale University and the personalities and curriculum that came to be lumped under the “Yale school” umbrella, Deconstruction makes clear how crucial feminism, queer theory, and gender studies also were to the lifeblood of this mode of thought. Ultimately, Jones-Katz shows that deconstruction in the United States—so often caricatured as a French infection—was truly an American phenomenon, rooted in our preexisting political and intellectual tensions, that eventually came to influence unexpected corners of scholarship, politics, and culture.
'Reading T. S. Eliot and reading about T. S. Eliot were equally formative experiences for my generation. One of the books about him which greatly appealed to me when I first read it ... was The New Poetic by the New Zealand poet and critic, C. K. Stead...' Seamus Heaney, The Government of the Tongue (1986)
An EPZ Introduction to Philosophy by Jacques Maritain Pdf
Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) was a Neo-Thomist philosopher who taught in France and the United States and was French Ambassador to the Vatican from 1945-48. A Protestant who became a Roman Catholic through association with Leon Bloy, he devoted himself to the study of Thomism and its application to all aspects of modern life and urged Christian involvement in secular affairs. An Introduction to Philosophy is perhaps the most well-known and enduring of all Maritain's many books. It offers a clear and highly readable introduction to the philosophies of both Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas.

The Deconstruction of Literature by David H. Hirsch Pdf
Criticizes deconstructionist literary theory because it is anti-humanistic and negates value, historical truth, and the worth of individual experience. Notes that Heidegger embraced Nazism as in tune with his philosophy; that French deconstructionists who experienced the German occupation prefer to repress this memory; that Paul de Man published antisemitic articles in Nazi journals in 1940-41; and that Hans Robert Jauss served throughout the war in the Waffen-SS in Eastern Europe, though he claims to have known nothing of the Holocaust. Argues that deconstructionism's negation of truth, its proposition that language by its very nature serves deception, is convenient for persons with such a background. Points to affinities between deconstructionism and the recontextualization of the Holocaust in revisionist historiography, in which the point of view of the victim is replaced by that of the accused. Asserts that deconstructionist literary critics have ignored Holocaust literature because they devalue the real experience of human beings.
