I think the article needs a section on how to translate Derrida's ideas into terms intelligible to people here on earth. EEng 08:13, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- It is all just rubbish, but useful, because if you read anything that quotes him, or Heidegger too, you can just chuck away what you are reading. Esedowns (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Whew! That's very reassuring. I thought it was just me. EEng 17:52, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- The Criticism from Anglophone philosophers section does a good job of demolishing his would-be status as an philosopher. The quote of Roger Scruton says it all: "He's difficult to summarise because it's nonsense. He argues that the meaning of a sign is never revealed in the sign but deferred indefinitely and that a sign only means something by virtue of its difference from something else. For Derrida, there is no such thing as meaning – it always eludes us and therefore anything goes." Carlstak (talk) 23:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I had the opportunity to study under Roger Scruton during his tenure at Birkbeck, and I distinctly recall him expressing admiration for Derrida's intellect, even admitting to a sense of envy. Moreover, any earnest student delving into Derrida's philosophy understands that the core of deconstruction is to illustrate how meaning is perpetually deferred. 94.205.38.119 (talk) 15:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Which of course is vacuous bullshit masquerading as profundity, but what else is new? EEng 00:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- So the meaning of his own philosophy is also "perpetually deferred"? Which is a big let down for all of us, I guess. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Scruton is a minor philosopher, i'm not sure what's your point here besides showing everyone your complete ignorance of philosophy. 82.55.217.165 (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'd swear he was at least 5' 10" in stocking feet So not that minor. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:39, 28 December 2024 (UTC)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
