Some of the posts here do fairly decent justice to Derrida's concept of deconstruction, but I always find it funny that that its still brought up as being the cutting edge of continental philosophy.
In the UK at least Derrida couldn't be more unfashionable, pure toxic waste if you want to publish and/or have a career as a philosopher of this school.
- dcre 13y agoVery funny. I'd say this is he generally true in the US as well, at least in philosophy departments. In English departments a little less so.
- conatus 13y agoIn the UK at least youthful continental philosophy could not be more interested in the hard sciences. Even take someone like Badiou - probably the "Derrida" of our age - who could not be more interested in getting the mathematics that form the core of his thought right.
