Summary: Highly recommended!
Comment: The Deconstruction of Time is a necessary read for anyone interested in phenomenology or deconstruction--and David Wood shows clearly why an interest in one requires an interest in the other. He does so by tracing the central importance of the concept of time in works by Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger and Derrida. In each case, Wood analyzes the treatment of time with a clarity that makes the book accessible by nonexperts, and a rare sensitivity that will undoubtedly appeal to the well-versed reader as well. Taking the question of time as its axis, The Deconstruction of Time shows what is at stake in practicing phenomenology or deconstruction, illuminating along the way the fundamental tendencies, limitations, and values of each. In addition to his lucid analyses, Wood also offers sophisticated problematizations of the texts and positions he treats, submitting phenomenology to deconstruction, and holding deconstruction to a sort of phenomenological standard--he walks a fine and cautious line between the dominant impulses of these two ways of thinking about time, and he does so with grace and wit. Highly recommended!

Summary: A brilliant work
Comment: This book is a fascinating reflection on the possibility of thinking time outside of the traditional metaphysical logic of
representation. David Wood shows that the contemporary
deconstructions of time lead to opening a sense -- and a future -- of philosophy as event, and performativity.
This is an important and original work, and a brilliant demonstration of what it might mean to speak of time, and thinking, as event. It also performs new interpretations of the works of Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, and Derrida.
