The term “Deconstruction” was first employed in a philosophical sense by Jacques Derrida in his 1967 book Of Grammatology. As such, the concept and movement of deconstruction was founded solely by Derrida, without much influence from contemporary sources. However, Derrida drew inspiration from earlier philosophers such as Nietzsche, Husserl, the linguist Saussure, Heidegger, and the psychologist Sigmund Freud. Deconstruction began as both an expansion of and reaction to structuralism, a movement particularly popular in 1960s France. Although Derrida was somewhat influenced by structuralist thinkers, (particularly Saussure) deconstruction cannot in any way be classified as structuralist. Derrida stated that deconstruction contained a certain element of structuralism, [Derrida 1985] but that element is not definitive in nature; Deconstruction is independent of structuralism. Derrida founded the concept of deconstruction for two reasons. First, Derrida wanted to apply Heidegger's concept of destruction "to his own ends." [Derrida 1985] It has been noted that Deconstruction is somewhat “less negative” [Allison 1973] than Destruktion, but still revolves around a certain idea of ​​inversion (which is somewhat similar to “inversion” in the Nietzschean sense ) [Derrida 1985] this involves the unfolding of the structure. Secondly, deconstruction was created as a reaction to structuralism, because Derrida believed that the structuralist notion of structure was flawed. Structuralism sought to create an external system through which other systems (such as language) could be evaluated. However, Derrida emphasized that such a structure must have, at its “centre”, the concept in question, and at the same time revolve around the idea that a… medium of paper… It is only through preference, then Ozymandias may be perceived as weak. Indeed, if time were completely removed from the picture, then Ozymandias would be perceived as both powerful and weak, paradoxically. It is only by focusing on the present and future that Shelley is able to portray Ozymandias as weak and not as powerful as he would appear if the text focused on the past. Works Cited David B.
