Abstract

What is discussed in this article is the formulation and representation of deconstruction by Jacques Derrida, a French philosopher and critic, in the Arab world of the Islamic world. This article, using a documentary and analytical method, addresses the three types of presented formulations of deconstruction in the Arab world and at the same time points out the generalities of the readings of thinkers related to each spectrum. Deconstruction has been able to have a wide reflection among its supporters and opponents. The enlightening and critical capacity of deconstruction is one of the important points that has caused Arab thinkers to be inclined towards it, and at the same time, its destructive and meaningless atmosphere has caused opposition to it. In this article, while expressing the previous spectres, an attempt has been made to present a new spectre that seems to have the strengths of the previous formulations, but has also completed their shortcomings.
