Deconstruction and Derrida focuses on analyzing texts to uncover conflicting meanings and undermine perceived truths. It examines how texts can be subverted by questioning assumptions around concepts like nature, reason, and identity. Derrida's concept of deconstruction aims to decenter traditional centers of meaning and show there is no single, fixed interpretation of a text. In conclusion, deconstruction seeks to dismantle rhetorical structures rather than destroy, shifting attention from authors to the free play of meanings within a work.
