Jacques Derrida - Fear of Writing

Paseosinperro Says:

Mar 20, 2011 - Hi, why do you say that? I mean he is confessing his fears, is not a humble thing?

Jul 19, 2011 - Who is this joker? Look at his rhetoric. He is awake and working and analyzing what happens when he is awake and working. But why trust this Derrida and not the nearly sleeping Derrida? This is the Derrida who channels hidden and mysterious forces. He writes with the authority of a missionary. After the interview I am sure he placed his head on the pillow and thought - I need to get that video reel and destroy the interview... the fact that I admitted to inadmissible truths is inadmissible.

Aug 3, 2011 - You obviously have absolutely no clue who Jacques Derrida is do you? He is a french philosopher who developed the critical theory known as deconstruction. It has become associated with the attempt to expose and undermine the oppositions and paradoxes on which particular contexts, philosophical and otherwise, are founded.

rot10peaches Says:

Aug 3, 2011 - His strategy involved explicating the historical roots of philosophical ideas, questioning the "metaphysics of presence" that he sees as having dominated philosophy and attempting to undermine and subvert the paradoxes themselves.

Sep 24, 2011 - So he is deconstructing himself while he is asleep.. how original, though i wonder what his views are on conscience and guilt.

HubertTheBeardless Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - I think you are too harsh on him.

HubertTheBeardless Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - He is talking about a real expereince every one of us has. It isn't too good advertising for his work, but exactly because of this, I respect it much. It shows, that he is honets in his pursuit, and this is the most what we can expect from anyone. We can't excpect people to be absolutely right. Rather, we can count on them being wrong most of the time. A philosopher is just a human who knowing this, still dares to aim for thr truth.

mourningization Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - I agree with you. I've thought about it a lot actually. I've had precisely the same feelings about what I stated as Derrida himself express about his statements here. The feelings of anxiety and regret. I like him, I want to apologize, I just have to study him more to be able also to understand and appreciate his philosophy.

fdesouchecom Says:

Mar 13, 2012 - Et dire que la majorité des gens qui constituent " l'élite " de la société française se fait lessiver par les études critiques qui n'a qu'un seul but : renverser la civilisation occidentale (par la culture car le projet marxiste économique a échoué).
