Jacques Derrida: Live Theory is a new introduction to the work of this most influential of contemporary philosophers. It covers Derrida's corpus in its entirety - from his earliest work in phenomenology and the philosophy of language, to his most recent work in ethics, politics and religion. It investigates Derrida's contribution to, and impact upon such disciplines as philosophy, literary theory, cultural studies, aesthetics and theology. Throughout, the key concepts that underpin Derrida's thought are thoroughly examined; in particular, the notion of 'the Other' or 'alterity' is employed to indicate a fundamental continuity from Derrida's earliest to his latest work.

James K.A. Smith's book is an excellent resource for those interested in learning more about Jacques Derrida and the work of deconstruction. The book gives concise descriptions of what deconstruction is NOT - as well as very helpful information on Derrida's work on the Other. It is a thoughtful and thorough overview of Derrida's work in the field of philosophy, with a lively, imaginative mock interview with Derrida at the end. I enjoyed the book very much and it was a helpful resource for research papers.
