Theory after Derrida: Essays in Critical Praxis Kailash Baral (Editor), R. Radhakrishnan (Editor) The central question that it asks is whether we should dismiss Derrida as a thinker who espoused an extreme form of relativism, bordering on nihilism, or has he something fundamental to contribute to the future of theory. Could it be that deconstruction is not destruction but a possibility that casts doubts on whether the present can have faith in future?
