Does deconstruction destroy text, as the name implies?
No. Deconstruction does not destroy text, it rather dissects it in order to find faults in it such as slippery language or vague descriptions that can make the author’s intended purpose go awry. Many people often make the mistake that deconstruction is a way of destroying philosophy and textual meaning, but again, it leads people into thinking more analytically as well as helping people understand that subjective views are not always the correct answer to everything.
