Jacques Derrida was one of the most well-known twentieth century philosophers. Distancing himself from the various philosophical movements and traditions, he developed a strategy called "deconstruction". Although not purely negative, deconstruction is primarily concerned with something tantamount to a critique of the Western philosophical tradition. Deconstruction is generally presented via an analysis of specific texts. It seeks to expose, and then to subvert, the various binary oppositions that undergird our dominant ways of thinking—presence/absence, speech/writing, and so forth. Deconstruction creates dualistic oppositions and installs a hierarchy that unfortunately privileges one term of each dichotomy (presence before absence, speech before writing, and so on). The strategy also aims to show that there are undecidables, that is, something that cannot conform to either side of a dichotomy or opposition. Undecidability returns in later period of Derrida's reflection, when it is applied to reveal paradoxes involved in notions such as gift giving or hospitality, whose conditions of possibility are at the same time their conditions of impossibility. Because of this, it is undecidable whether authentic giving or hospitality are either possible or impossible. Which of the following is/are true about Derrida's "deconstruction"?  It is preoccupied with exposing the dualisms that are supported in our language e.g, moral/immoral.  According to deconstructive approach, the idea of a gift is impossible. It uncovers the meaning of text by introducing the opposite idea and then assigning to each a hierarchical position.  The idea of giving a gift becomes impossible when the receiver responds with a "thanks".
