How'd I miss this one? Jacques Derrida has passed away.
Some people have unkind things to say. Real nice and respectable. Yeah.
Anyway, like him or not, he was very influential. His work contributed heavily to leftist thought, for better or worse. Feminism, multiculturalism, etc. He changed the way people critique literature.
It's sad to see all these influential thinkers passing on in the last few years — Nozick, Quine, Rawls and now Derrida.|||109768685316653116|||Derrida
