anon had to read a print-out of differance in his sophomore intro to lit crit and changed majors.

in seriousness: yeah, of course he's a bit smug. he's a fucking philosopher. they're all like that. basically every fucking worthwhile paper you'll ever read is going to come off "smug," especially if you approach them all with the attitude of "lets figure out if this guy is smart or not" or "lets figure out whether i agree or not."

derrida's differance is extremely valuable. its a gateway into eastern philosophy of no-self, mu, etc. he managed to encapsulate some of the most intangible ideas in the history of philosophy and reintroduce them into western discourse.

not saying you have to like it... but someone who discounts one of the most influential and endorsed philosophers of the last century on account of being "smug" after reading ONE paper is probably not the type of person who should be offering their opinion on /lit/

at best they can appropriate writings made by whites and pretend. Niggers cant write. Its not a coincidence all the "great" works by niggers are centered around civil rights. Maybe if they stopped trying to play victim and growed the fuck up they can start to produce some actual art. That being said im sure somewhere theres a good book written by a nigger
