Deconstruction is a form of semiotic analysis, derived mainly from French philosopher Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology.

Derrida states that “ Deconstruction is not a method and cannot be transformed into one .” This is because deconstruction is not a mechanical operation.

Deconstruction is not a method and this means that it is not a neat set of rules that can be applied to any text in the same way.

Deconstruction is therefore not neatly transcendental because it cannot be considered separate from the contingent empirical facticity of the particular texts that any deconstruction must carefully negotiate.

Each deconstruction is necessarily different ( otherwise it achieves no work ) and this is why Derrida states that “ Deconstruction takes place, it is an event .” On the other hand, deconstruction cannot be completely untranscendental because this would make it meaningless to, for example, speak of two different examples of deconstruction as both being examples of deconstruction.

Deconstruction begins, as it were, from a refusal of the authority or determining power of every ‘ is ’, or simply from a refusal of authority in general.

' Deconstruction ' is somewhat less negative than the Heideggerian or Nietzschean terms ' destruction ' or ' reversal '; it suggests that certain foundational concepts of metaphysics will never be entirely eliminated ... There is no simple ' overcoming ' of metaphysics or the language of metaphysics.
