im not even making a meme or anything i genuinely don't understand a single thing this guy is saying.
can someone give me a rundown please?

> it goes without saying that the god of writing must also be the god of death

holy based

I'm an undergrad at one of the world's most prestigious universities (Think harvard, yale, stanford, princeton etc.)

Last semester I read Derrida for one of my courses and tbqh... I have no clue what the hell I read. I've never been so dumbfounded by a text before. I simply could not comprehend more than a 1/4 of what Derrida was saying.

Fast forward to this semester and I'm having a chat about Derrida with a professor in the philosophy department. He tells me that no one actually understands Derrida's work and that almost everyone is faking their understanding of him in order to appear smart.


Thoughts?

And so the leftist comes full circle back to Post-Modern nihilism. Peterson wins again

Miss me yet?

Greentext is a spontaneous rebellion against phallogocentrism and an aporetic gesture of surfacing differance

Prove me wrong

Why do authors/writers always have bad eyes?

By that i mean dark circles and wrinkles? Is it because of reading all the time?

alright can we have a Derrida thread? I keep trying to get into this dude but the full meaning of his texts always escape my grasp. Does anybody have any good places to starts, guides, or interpretations they want to share?

yeah dude it doesnt make sense that the ideology held by the masses during any particular era would influence the academic and intellectual canon, all the way down to the supposed ‘hard’ sciences. science is completely divorced from culture always. youve definitely read a lot of books & are a regular here, noam chomsky fan.

Hey fucking moron, if you want a post discrediting something to hold more weight than a post asserting something you need to link a source. Are you brain damaged?

Anyone here like this guy?

>Language is flawed and fails to communicate actual thoughts because it is logo-centric. It only communicates words, not ideas
>As a result one interpretation is no more true than another. There is no outside the text and the western cannon is not special because all texts are equal
>The Hebrew language, unique in having a greater oral tradition than any other language is the closest to communicating actual thoughts instead of words
>Thus Hebrew texts should be prioritized as more true and superior to other texts

Wow I finally got Derrida.

>There is but one moral imperative, and that is to enrich the White Woman's womb
What did he mean by this?

What did Derrida mean by this?

>"My philosophy has been called many things. Post-modernism. Existentialism. Neo-Frankfurt. Critical Theory. Feminism. Relativism. It has many names, but myself, I just call it Marxism."

How do i achieve this style?
