RE: misc responses

I guess I'll wait for that brilliant reading student to deconstruct
Derrida.
 
Daniel
 
 
 (emphasis mine)
...As a philosophical discourse and as a series of acts of reading involving
literary texts, Derrida's work has always and everywhere been about quite
the _opposite_, it has been about carefully addressing and responsibly
analyzing the problems raised by questions of meaning and communication and
reading....
 
Whether one is reading his analyses of Plato or of Hegel, of Ponge or Genet,
of Rousseau or Marx, of Freud or Sollers, of Nietzsche or Mallarme, one
encounters everywhere arguments in favor of meanings and responsibility and
of specific interpretations and of the history of thinking and writing and
of taking positions. And one finds, in almost every interview and almost
every statement he has made explicitly about whatever is being called
"deconstruction," careful and patient explanations concerning his own work
not being anything like what is described in the words Daniel cites.

There is something to be said, sometimes, for reading.

Thanks,

--John
