Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida (/dɛrɪˈdə, ˈdɛriːdɑː/;[4] French: [ʒak dɛʁida]; born Jackie Élie Derrida;[5] 15 July 1930 – 9 October 2004) was a French philosopher born in Algeria. He developed the philosophy of deconstruction, which he utilized in a number of his texts, and which was developed through close readings of the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology.[6][7][8] He is one of the major figures associated with post-structuralism and postmodern philosophy[9][10][11] although he distanced himself from post-structuralism and disavowed the word "postmodernity". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Derrida
