Abstract |
In this article, I argue that even if one can justify the initial impetus to want to deconstruct a literary or philosophical text, this does not make it possible in practice. To this end, I engage with relevant aspects of Derrida’s thought and examine the motivations and purpose behind wanting to carry out a deconstruction, to then offer a pragmatic critique of the idea one might ever be able to do so. I base my argument on various factors, including deconstruction’s non-methodological nature and the challenges involved in adjudicating a given deconstructive reading a success or failure, among other considerations.
