Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-20 00:00:00 Jason Raynes Kates offers an interesting, and I think correct, argument for looking at Derrida's work from a developmental perspective. Kates sees the 1967 works on deconstruction built on, and continuing to think through, Derrida's earlier engagements with Husserl. At times Kates' argument gets lost due to a circuitous structure of the text, but it is difficult to fault him for this given his subject matter.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-21 00:00:00 Deborah Capanna A considered look into how students read texts on the eve of college/university level courses.

Neil McCaw's 2nd edition divides into seven chapters: What type of reader are you right now?; Reading creatively; Reading texts closely, Reading biography, authors and readers; Reading genre and literary/cultural history; Reading social and political history; Reading philosophically; or, critical theory.
