A Witness of a Witness Bibliography Index About the AuthorReviewsIn this powerful and provocative book, Sean Gaston combs through Jacques Derrida’s works from the 1960s to the 90s with fidelity and care to argue that Derrida’s oeuvre should in fact be seen as a philosophy of history that provides a deconstructive historiography. In doing so, Gaston articulates a new kind of philosophy of history that takes up the problems of context, memory, and narrative in striking and original ways. -- Ethan Kleinberg, Professor of History and Letters, Wesleyan University In this powerful and provocative book, Sean Gaston combs through Jacques Derrida's works from the 1960s to the 90s with fidelity and care to argue that Derrida's oeuvre should in fact be seen as a philosophy of history that provides a deconstructive historiography.
