Re:Derrida vs. the rationalists by mannykannot on Friday February 10, 2017 @10:47PM (#13620878)
Based on past experience, we are not likely to see any enlightenment from that source, merely more insinuations that we are too dumb to appreciate the Emperor's wardrobe, with, perhaps, some vacuous tautologies.

Actually, there is an idea that has been floating around other threads here, that Derrida sought to destroy structuralism by turning its own methods on it, thereby exposing its self-contradictions. If so, then he only speaks to those who are already engaged with structuralism - hence my comment elsewhere about closed self-referentiality. I have no idea whether this was his intent, but the thing is, it works anyway.

There are no comments on this comment yet.
