See Ya Jacques
I've been so busy posting over here (and watching baseball and football) that I realize I never commented on the passing of Jacques Derrida.
It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, so we'll just think of it as deconstructing his life and passing.
Personally, I think Mark Goldblatt summed it up pretty well:
Derrida's special significance lies not in the fact that he was subversive but in the fact that he was an outright intellectual fraud -- and that he managed to dupe a startling number of highly educated people into believing he was on to something.
Yeah.
Who knows -- maybe Jacques will even convince the Creator that He needs to rethink some aspects of human reason. Knock yourself out, Jacques! :)
