«Histoire du mensonge : prolégomènes» is Jacques Derrida's philosophical essay, published by Galilée in paperback (103 pages, in French).
Derrida starts from the fact that the Western tradition lacks a unified and stable concept of lying, and examines its practical, social, political, legal and technical historicity. He distinguishes three levels: the history of the concept, that of events by or through lying, and the truthful narrative that orders the account.
Published in 2012 in the collection «La philosophie en effet» by Galilée, it collects a lecture given by Derrida in Paris in 1997.
For readers interested in contemporary philosophy, deconstruction and the thought of Jacques Derrida.
Jacques Derrida was a French philosopher. He developed the philosophy of deconstruction, which he applied in some of his texts, and which he developed through close readings of the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology. He is one of the major figures associated with post-structuralism and postmodern philosophy although he distanced himself from post-structuralism and disavowed the word "postmodernity".
