Poststructuralist philosophy as the governing philosophy of Western societies provide the philosophical foundations of modern episteme-ology the increasing use of information and communication network which can be influential in E-Learning. This paper is a brief introduction to the post-structuralism episteme-ology seeks to deconstruct the idea with three philosophical implications used to describe E-learning.

Second impression on a possible consequence of reading the text emphasizes that multiple readings or interpretations of the text/ content by learner. This element is called when the text is magnified virtual space that can be interpreted as multidimensional replacement with one-dimensional interpretation .The third concept, Derrida's emphasis is on the Writing, based on e-learning.
