The Nazis and Deconstruction: Jean-Pierre Faye's Demolition of Derrida
Goldner, Loren
http://breaktheirhaughtypower.org/the-nazis-and-deconstruction-jean-pierre-fayes-demolition-of-derrida/Year Published: 1993 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX7930 A review of Jean-Pierre Faye's book 'La raison narrative', which traces the Nazi origins of deconstructionist and post-modernist concepts and terminology. Faye shows, for example, that the concept of 'deconstruction' was introduced in a Nazi journal edited by M.H. Goering, and he shows how theorists who based themselves on Heidegger's writings, such as Derrida, Lyotard, and Lacoue-Labarthe, whitewashed Heidegger's Nazism, treating it as a mere 'detail'.
