- More about Derrida and Technology: Life, Politics, and Religion
This book is the first monograph that takes a comprehensive approach to Jacques Derrida as a philosopher of technology. It refines and complements his mainstream image as a philosopher of language and deconstructionist of classical literary and philosophical texts. A phenomenology of technology is developed that extends the concept of technology to cover the entire field of phenomenology, placing it in close proximity to humanity, ethics, politics, democracy, and religion.

This groundbreaking monograph delves into the multifaceted realm of Jacques Derrida as a philosopher of technology, offering a comprehensive and transformative perspective. By refining and expanding upon his established reputation as a philosopher of language and a deconstructionist of classical literary and philosophical texts, it presents a novel and innovative philosophy of technology. This volume serves as a comprehensive guide, outlining the fundamental characteristics of Derrida's alternative philosophy of technology. It distinguishes itself from traditional approaches, such as Heideggerian orientations that separate thinking and technology, as well as empirically oriented "post-phenomenology" that currently holds dominance within the field.
Through a rigorous and coherent interpretation of Derrida, this monograph develops a phenomenology of technology that extends the concept of technology to encompass the entirety of phenomenology. This groundbreaking approach positions technology not as an adversary to humanity but rather as an inherent aspect of human existence, closely intertwined with life, ethics, politics, democracy, and religion. Surprisingly, this crucial aspect of Derrida's thinking has received limited analysis or discussion among his exegetes. This text is of immense appeal to graduates and researchers engaged in the study of Derrida, phenomenology, and the philosophy of technology.
