The superstructure

Author's name: Richard Harlandar Publisher: Al-Takween for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2020 Literary classification: Philosophy and Thought Brief about the book: Post-structuralism finds its roots in the human sciences, as it was originally derived from the way linguistics and social anthropology in France were established around the beginning of the twentieth century; at that time, a new kind of truth – the truth of man – was floating within the scope of scientific knowledge, demanding the development of a new perspective. And this new perspective was nothing but an extension of the perspective of the natural sciences – although it took fifty years, as the true size of the separation highlights, and through which the human sciences themselves formed as non-natural sciences. Our carving of the term "post-structural" includes general fields of structuralists, semioticians, Althusserians, Marxists, Foucaultians, and post-structuralists, etc., because structuralism alone is no longer broad enough to deal with writers like Foucault, who strongly reject being labeled as structuralists, or like Derrida, who declare their stance as opposed to structuralists.
