This paper takes Derrida's thought of animal as the object of study,starting from the philosophical background,the core concept of thought is taken as the focus of the study,and the deconstruction strategy is analyzed,and the influence of Derrida's animal thought on the development of literary theory is explained.Derrida's thought of animal profoundly rethinks the traditional relationship between human beings and animals,emphasizes the necessity of changing the way of animal philosophy speculation,re-positioning the human status in the ecological community.First of all,Derrida's thought of animal has a certain philosophical foundation,he divided the past philosophers of animals into two traditions: First,by Plato,Aristotle and Descartes as the representative of the emphasis on the difference between animals and humans,highlighting the human subjectivity,to promote anthropocentric ideological tendencies;The second is to Rousseau,Bentham,Nietzsche as the representative of the objective view of the relationship between people and animals,by affirming the inherent human nature,questioning anthropocentric ideological tendencies.Secondly,Derrida put forward and explained four key concepts: "the animal that therefore I am ","autobiographical animal","human and animal boundaries","animal others",to reflect on the purpose and meaning of the human pursuit of self in the past,that the essence of all philosophical discourse in the West is the conquest of animals under the cover of "human rule".Thirdly,Derrida adopted the strategy of deconstruction in the discussion of animal problems,deconstructed Anthropocentrism,Phonocentrism and Logocentrism by dismantling the three basic propositions of animal naming,animal language and animal power.Derrida's animal thought is a profound reflection of human self cognition,expand the space theory of ecological criticism,promoted to literature research ethics thoughts,provided a new perspective for the theory of critical discourse and text interpretation.
