The idea of deconstruction is associated with ................ .
Answer: A
Deconstruction is associated with Jacques Derrida.
Derrida introduced deconstruction in works such as Of Grammatology (1967). It reads a text to expose the hierarchies of opposites (speech over writing, presence over absence) on which its meaning depends, and to show how the text undermines them itself.
Saussure founded the structural linguistics that Derrida criticised. Heidegger's idea of Destruktion of metaphysics was a source for Derrida, but deconstruction as a method is Derrida's. The Frankfurt School is the home of critical theory, a different tradition.
