> Postmodern philosophy should explain simply It's not always possible when precisely what is being attempted is to sketch ideas inexpressible with simple denotational language and concepts. What late Heidegger & much of Derrida write is outside the limits of 'commonsense'. Of course one can contest whether the whole enterprise is meaningful at all, or whether their specific attempts succeed, but 'explaining simply' just isn't relevant to what they are trying to do. It's like claiming you're asking a poet to be more prosaic, which amounts to asking them not to write poetry at all.
