Jacques Derida, who may have coined "de-constructionism," died a
couple of years ago
He is considered a leftist philosophy professor
I don't know the definition:
www.dictionary.com
Here are some impressions of what I sometimes think about it.
It's a nasty way to attack something in bad faith by reducing a
phenomenon to absurdity.
Perhaps it's an ad hominem disguised as rational argumentation
Sometime ago it was discussed at , and I knew even
less about it then.
A Woody Allen unpoular movie, DECONSTRUCTING HARRY, is subsequent to
his break-up with Mia Farrow.
Woody, is awful, and the movie is sad stuff with graveyard humor.

See :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction
Deconstruction is a term used in contemporary literary criticism, philosophy,
and the social sciences, coined by Jacques Derrida in the 1960s[1]. The Oxford
English Dictionary defines deconstruction as "A strategy of critical analysis
[...] directed towards exposing unquestioned metaphysical assumptions and
internal contradictions in philosophical and literary language."[2]
In 1985 Derrida stated that he preferred to describe "what deconstruction is
not, or rather ought not to be".

It is literature pretending to philosophy.
