Your opinion on Joyce:
>He is not incomprehensible, he's a genius and entirely original. You just need to do some prior reading to understand and know a bit about linguistics.
Your opinion on Derrida:
>Obscurantist charlatan, hiding complete nonsense behind big words. Completely unoriginal.

It's the difference between fiction and purported nonfiction, jackass. If Derrida had marketed himself as an experimental novelist or poet rather than a philosopher, there wouldn't be a problem.

Plato wrote satirical plays and dialogue-heavy novels and novellas. So he’s not a philosopher? Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy is an experimental novel, too.

This thread is about Derrida the writer who died in 2004 you retards. There's no unproblematic comparison.

Derrida never described himself as a philospher, rather a "historian"
