Abstract

The article explores Jacques Derrida’s method of deconstruction as a method, tool and a way which can help to overcome contemporary European culture crisis, and can help to solve its problems. The study employs methods of comparative analysis, systematization, deduction, and textual and phenomenological analysis. The authors argue that language in European philosophy functions not merely as a tool of communication but as a mode of shaping cultural consciousness and ontological experience. The paper discusses the main principles of Derrida’s deconstruction and its significance for overcoming the crisis of rationality, identity, and humanism in contemporary Europe. Deconstruction is proposed as a methodology of cultural self-understanding and as the foundation of a new humanistic paradigm oriented toward openness, difference, and responsibility. The conclusion emphasizes that Derrida’s method provides not only a critique of the Western philosophical tradition but also a humanitarian horizon for the future. By transforming the concept of Europe from a metaphysical center into a text of differences and relations, deconstruction opens the possibility for a renewed European identity based on dialogue, translation, and ethical openness.
