Summary/Abstract: Richard Rorty and Stanley Cavell were among the first to discover the importance of reading together and not against each other the texts of Wittgenstein and Derrida. Following their suggestion, my study focuses on four topics: (1) Recontextualizing the constructive and deconstructive readings of Wittgenstein and Derrida, I would like to argue that there is an outstanding interest for their philosophy from the seventies until the present time. (2) This interest has to do with their understanding of philosophy as deconstructive activity. The word deconstruction is Derrida’s invention but (3) deconstruction as Tätigkeit, Zerzettelung, Zerlegung is at work in Wittgenstein’s philosophy as well. (4) The game plays an important role for both philosophers. Wittgenstein introduces the concept of language-games as forms of life. Derrida suggests that there is a double game: a well-founded one, which follows the prescribed rules, and a game without any security, in which we makeup the rules. (5) Reading and interpreting philosophical and literary texts means entering in the double game.
