The article studies deconstruction, one of the main methods of the philosophy of postmodernism. The role and place of deconstruction in the analysis of the philosophy of history and artistic works is shown. It emphasizes the positive significance of deconstruction for the development of the methodology of modern social cognition and history. It is emphasized that deconstruction is not intended to destroy axiom systems, specific for each historical period and fixed in the texts of a particular epoch, but primarily to reveal the internal contradictions of any theoretical systems. The purpose of deconstruction, according to the author, is to analyze the relations of binary positions, which causes the formation of new meanings in the knowledge of historical, social, cultural and intellectual processes.
