by Hans-Jörg Rheinberger / RP 187 (Sept/Oct 2014) / Article
Of Grammatology, which history seems likely to confirm as Jacques Derrida’s most influential book, was published almost four decades ago.* This book marked the beginning of my pathway into philosophy and it has accompanied me throughout my investigations of science and the history of science.
