Construction as Metaphor

This is a theoretical work on deconstruction, which centrally represents the author's unique thinking of 'deconstructing' method in the Japanese context, in the whirlpool of the postmodernism in the 1980s. According to the author, In the 20th century, the western human and natural sciences were generally observed with a tendency of 'formalization' and such 'formalist' revolution not only failed to overturn the conventional metaphysics, but on the contrary, made various ideological efforts to fall into the chasm of 'structure'. However, the way out is to rebuild the 'deconstruction' method as the criticizing theory, through 'secular criticism', based on such concepts as 'social externality' of Marx and 'absolute otherness' of Wittgenstein.
