Abstract

University of Manchester professor of political philosophy • Townsend Jules in April 2004 in the UK Institute of Political Science annual meeting read "Derrida on Marx of deconstruction," a text, the text is not only coherent had a clear analysis of Derrida's deconstruction is not a clear idea, but in response, based on the decade review, pointed out the significance and limitations of Derrida's deconstruction: that Derrida's "ghost" of deconstruction will help us from the bad "Ghost" where the freed; but also the specter of deconstruction Derrida is also plagued by ghosts. In this paper, the text of the review Tom said: Derrida's deconstruction we can get from the traditional way of thinking is difficult to get inspiration, to broaden and deepen our research vision from there throughout the domain to understand the historical development of things in the real pursuit of research in an era of Marxism and Marxist contemporary problems faced. Jules Townshend, professor of Political Institute of Manchester Metropolitan University, has read his paper "Derrida's Deconstruction of Marx " in the Political Studies Association Annual Conference in April 2004 England. This paper has not only clearly analyzed the unclear deconstructive method of Derrida , but also, based on the reflection after ten year's Derrida's book has been published, analyzed the meaning and limitation of his method: that is the deconstruction method towards the "Specters" of Marx could help us to be free from bad "Specters", but at the same times Townshend also said that Derrida himself was haunted by "Specters". After introducing and commentary on Townshend's paper, the present paper suggest that we could get some enlightenment which we could not get with traditional method through the deconstruction work of Derrida , therefore enlarging and deepening our research areas, to understand the world from the point of historical situation, to study Marxism of our time and to think about the problems of our time that faced by Marxism
