First published in 1972, Dissemination contains three of Derrida''s most central and seminal works: ''Plato''s Pharmacy'', ''The Double Session'' and ''Dissemination''. The essays present a re-evaluation of the logic of meaning and the function of writing in Western discourse and explore the relationship and interplay between language, literature and philosophy. The text includes a substantial introduction and additional notes on the text by Barbara Johnson.
