In philosophy, deconstruction is a loosely defined set of approaches to understanding the relationship between text and meaning. The concept of deconstruction was introduced by the philosopher Jacques Derrida, who described it as a turn away from Platonism's ideas of "true" forms and essences which are valued above appearances. American literary critic and major proponent of deconstruction Barbara Johnson describes the approach in this way:
Deconstruction is a philosophical approach, developed by Jacques Derrida, that examines how texts create meaning by questioning the idea that words have fixed, "true" essences separate from their appearances and uses. It matters because it challenges traditional assumptions about how language works and what texts actually mean, offering a different way to read and interpret writing.
