Holy shit this is exactly how i felt writing my term paper

He is talking about a real expereince every one of us has. It isn't too good advertising for his work, but exactly because of this, I respect it much. It shows, that he is honets in his pursuit, and this is the most what we can expect from anyone. We can't excpect people to be absolutely right. Rather, we can count on them being wrong most of the time. A philosopher is just a human who knowing this, still dares to aim for thr truth.

in desconstructionism Derrida is doing something more terrible to himself than you can imagine he is working on the forbidden place of fears that deeply rooted in human nature.

No, you're wrong: he says in french "grave", and it's translated by "serious", wich has two meanings in English. I think you've retained the wrong meaning.

[DaveScruff]

He is not talking about an experience each of us has! He's talking about writing his own philosophy - and none of us will do that.

I've just read the book of ''Of Grammatology'' I agree with you sir,writing has been considered as merely a derivative form of speech.

Maybe in realism, but as it has been shown, realist philosophy is rooted in the series of desires that concern the maintaining of a dying culture. Even Foucault would tell you this. Truth is the last straw you assholes have, and the only one that you refuse to "deconstruct." Nietzsche would laugh at you. Idiotic.

The only reason anyone would be afraid to write is if they have an internal fear that regards their own being. Truth, if it exists in the realist sense, is necessarily selfless, and when it gets entangled with the self, as you can see here, it resembles something abominable. All of you philosophy students who think you know what he is talking about, please grow to disparage this man.

Wow, "The truth [is]... that what I'm doing is very serious..." What a pretentious fucker. This is why philosophy is shitty, because people pay attention to garbage like Derrida. All his work is nothing more than an effort to prove that he is intelligent.
