Bibliography
Jason Powell has a PhD in philosophy and is the author of Jacques Derrida: A Biography and Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy. He has served with the British Army in Iraq, Bosnia and Kosovo and now works as a freelance writer.
'In attempting an intellectual biography of Derrida [Powell] is
doing something unique ... He has a good grasp of the ideas
circulating around deconstrution, and articulates them in a
suitably reader-friendly manner without sacrificing any of their
complexity or compromising their integrity.' Dr Karl Simms,
Director of Studies, School of English, University of Liverpool
