description: In Modernism, conceptions of existence are bound up with a centered, observing subject. Global crises such as war and environmental degradation are rooted in metaphysical centricity. Pheby draws upon Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault to re-think philosophical discourse without a foundation in centered subject. As such this is a deployment of deconstruction for decidedly constructive purposes. An important book linking the poststructural critique of the self to social transformation.
