Finally, a philosophy book that will make you laugh until you différance.

Ever wanted to sound unbearably pretentious at dinner parties? Wondered how one French philosopher managed to make an entire career out of writing sentences no human being could understand? Curious why your literature professor keeps muttering about "the death of the author" while staring vacantly into space?

Look no further than "Derrida's Deconstruction: Tearing Texts Apart Because He Had Nothing Better To Do" – the latest installment in the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy both accessible and hilarious.

In this merciless exploration of Jacques Derrida and his world-altering inability to get to the point, you'll discover:

Why spelling "difference" with an "a" made one man inexplicably famous

How to sound profound while saying absolutely nothing

Why buildings suddenly started looking like they were designed during earthquakes

The academic equivalent of "my dog ate my homework": textual undecidability

How to deconstruct any text while sitting in your pajamas

The surprising insights hidden beneath mountains of incomprehensible jargon

Written with savage wit and unexpected clarity, this book explains deconstruction better than Derrida ever could (though, to be fair, so could a moderately articulate toddler).

Whether you're a confused student, a curious reader, or someone who enjoys watching inflated intellectual balloons get popped by the sharp pin of sarcasm, this book is your perfect introduction to the man who made simplicity unfashionable and gave academic writing permission to be terrible forever.

Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, eye-rolling, and the sudden ability to see through academic nonsense. Not recommended for tenured professors with no sense of humor.
