In Derrida's thought, "deconstruction" is not a "method" but an "approach" that questions the whole of metaphysical ideas and the tradition of Western philosophy from Plato to Husserl. The scope of his view also includes religious concepts because of their metaphysical nature. This paper shows the role of the term "deconstruction" and its application and explanation in the field of theology. To this end, while pointing to alternative interpretations that link Derrida’s deconstruction with nihilism and critique of this claim and relying on the deconstructive evidence of his thinking, such as the concept of the gift, the paradox of faith, the promise of faith, and justice, it has been tried to speak of the similarity between deconstruction and the possibility of religious thought. With this statement, the metaphorical reading of some of his commentators becomes irrelevant, and the positive and negative aspects that exist in differentiation and impossibility as deconstructive devices can pave the way for the possibility and understanding of a kind of negative theology in Derrida's philosophical thought and questioning of the sacred in the contemporary era.

Popper and Derrida are two influential philosophers of different schools of thought in the second half of the twentieth century. In terms of epistemology, Popper belongs to the critical rationalism school and Derrida to the deconstruction approach. Both of them intend to question any philosophical, social, political, and linguistic fundamentalism. They aspire to go beyond the duality of realism and idealism, and to this end, each offers his own definition of reason’s essence/substance and its domain. Popper distinguishes between the affirmative and negative aspects of reason. He counts the affirmative aspect of reason as fundamentalism that must be abandoned and the negative aspect of reason as the faculty necessary to explain any scientific Philosophy. On the other hand, Derrida questions the totality of reason from a critical perspective toward logo-centrism in the Western metaphysics of presence. The article goes on to compare Popper's and Derrida’s approach in the Philosophy of science and explains the essence /substance of Philosophy of deconstructive science.

Philosopl:y in its broad sense constitutes the origin and foundation of almost each and every discipline ive observe in today's world. Despite the focal influence philosophical unde1pinnings have on an ensemble of ideological and epistemological issues in our life, this branch of human knowledge is not welcomed the 1vqy it deserves f?y the administrators of a number of disciplines. One such field o.f stucfy is the area of language teaching in ivhich philosophical concerns are left near/y intact. The present article is aimed at recapitulating the mqjor impact a partial acquaintance nitb philosopl!J can have on our general conceptualizations particular/y as it concerns Language and pedagogy. In so doing, a brief introduction is made, at the outset, to the tuo principal divisions of philosopl:y, i.e. ana/ytical and continental philosopl?J. The concept of bermeneutical thought is then presented as an issue relevant to the school of continentalphilosopl?J, and the vieivpoints of several celebrated progenitors and pioneers of this sub-branch of philosopl:y, i.e. hermeneutics are dimmed. An attempt is made, aftenaards, to introduce some traces of hermeneutics in linguistics and some of its main sub-branches inclttding pragmatics, critical discourse analysis andp.rychological studies. In the encl a brief account is given of some practical advantages of a .familiarity with these philosophical concepts in pedagogical terms

Jacques Derrida was one of the few philosophers who seriously became involved with architecture. Despite his innermost desire, Derrida seems to have never made a proper connection with architecture. As soon as Derrida's theory of deconstruction was developed in architecture, it was thought that a practical way to translate and represent an idea was found. Concerning the output of the deconstruction style, the feedback of that opinion in the design of architectural spaces demonstrates that it was a complete failure. It showed the reflection of Derrida's idea on architecture was based on a poor understanding. The aim of this study is how accurate and complete the style of deconstruction in architecture represented Derrida's opinion on deconstruction? Derrida entered the deconstruction style project in architecture to show that arts are the best objectives to represent the manifestation of deconstruction. Although other studies accepted the formation of the deconstruction style in architecture as the fact of Derrida’s deconstruction, Parc de la Villette’s project really contradicts his hypothesis. Not from an architectural point of view, but from a philosophical point of view instead, this study emphasizes the philosophical basis of Derrida's views on deconstruction according to his thought on texts. Accordingly, as a strong and steady connection, Derrida's deconstruction is a kind of exposure to our relationship with the world, while the architecture's deconstruction style breaks the connection and even disrupts our relationships with this surrounding world.
