Jacques Derrida - Fear of Writing

LOL... the unconscious Catholic guilt of Derrida!

I find it amusing that Youtube comments are not more erudite on a video of Derrida that they are on just about any other video.
Derrida would have something to say about that....

In my years as a rhetoric major, i learned that with Derrida u either love him or you hate him- he's difficult.. everyone called us the branch Derrideans at my uni lol... I love his work!

That's pretty good
Derrida has done great work on philosophy so i like him.
i would recommend to see Derrida and Lov

He's delightfully brilliant.

I can relate to exactly what he is talking about here. Thanks for uploading this footage.

Postmodernists heaven't got any intresting to say about the world. Theirs fundamental mistake is regarding philosophy and science like a literature.

Im not fan of po' mo' philosophy, but i think its stretching it abit far to say 'reading' science/philosophy as literature is a mistake. Wherein lies the mistake? What prevents this 'other' point of view from being valid?

Ah, que bueno que lo aclaras. Porque de lo contrario parecería casi una máxima: "un filósofo que no sabe reír no merece ser leído". Ahora que sé que es una opinión más y nada más, entonces dejemos el problemita del lado. No me había dado cuenta, sorprendentemente, de que imita a Heidegger; siendo éste un filósofo importantísimo en mi vida. Me sorprende que digas que además lo imita en lo que dice... como sea. Saludos pensante ;)

Ok, y disculpa mi tono, a veces me excedo en mis sarcasmos o en mis reproches, saludos a ti, que de verdad eres pensante ;)
