Abstract	Jacques Derrida, a pivotal figure in 20th-century philosophy, revolutionized critical theory through his development of deconstruction, a method that challenges binary oppositions and fixed meanings in texts and discourses. This research paper examines Derrida’s contributions to philosophy, literary theory, and cultural studies, focusing on his key concepts—deconstruction, différance, and the critique of logocentrism. By analyzing his major works, such as Of Grammatology and Writing and Difference, the paper explores how Derrida’s ideas reshaped approaches to language, meaning, and power. Supported by scholarly citations, it also addresses critiques of his work and its lasting impact on postcolonialism, feminism, and other fields.
Keywords	Key words: Binary oppositions, logocentrism, differance, deconstruction
