DERRIDA AND THEOLOGY PART 1 BY STEVEN SHAKESPEARE

[@yogi2436]

'Nothing outside the text' sounds like it is derived form Witgenstein's views on language.

[@dettoist]

No you are wrong. Explaining Derrida can and should be done. Derrida's focus was on the conditions that lead to the possibility of communication (which also contain the possibility of miscommunication). If Derrida cannot be explained or "communicated" , then John Searle was a prophet!

[@HanifKhan-rr2pl]

Derrida's interpretation of the text is different from that of classics. His notion of the absence of the center or meaning in linguistic realm is a valid point.

17:31min So, differance is written as if in English?

[@jeanbordes8241]

Let me add that Derrida is without no doubt The greatest French philosopher of The end of The 20 th and The early 21st century

[@kamilziemian995]

Interesting video.

[@gonzogil123]

But if differance "is always already in language, and always doing the same thing" in language then it is a constitutive feature of language: any language at any historical period If so then it is an essential feature of language, language being his object of study, which would allow him to elaborate a macro theory of this finite object.

If we are going to talk about who influenced Derrida (and post modernists in general) we must not forget Nietzsche, who sated that there is no such thing as a purely observing eye, anywhere.

[@Robb3348]

+Ethan Davidson It's axiomatic that Nietzsche (and especially the Nietzsche of the quote you offered) is the godfather of postrmodernism/deconstructionism.

[@Thomasrice07]

Yes, I agree that Nietzsche is the godfather of postmodernism; but I think Heidegger is the godfather of deconstruction.

[@herecomesforego1787]

Emerson is the father of Nietzsche and Hegel is the grandfather

[@jeanbordes8241]

Derrida is a great but difficult philosopher Who Was Much appreachiated in USA and U K Much more than in France. Hé Was The leader Of The French théory which is an important philosophical mouvement.

[@surpriseimblack]

Derrida is the greatest philosopher of all time.

[@jamespotts8197]

Being new to philosophy, what makes Derrida "The Greatest of All Time"?

[@conantheseptuagenarian3824]

these people introduce negation into truth, nonbeing into being. he didn't deserve the degree anymore than someone who burns my house down deserves credit for building it.

[@miteaus]

The example: "as i speak it, it can't be heard.' bothers me because; it appears that once you mark a word, for its difference, it is heard differently. It is superficial to think language operate otherwise. This seems to overlook Wittgenstein's insights completely.

[@Deleuzeshammerflow]

god is the ultimate logos and center, deconstruction by its nature dissolves god.

[@jonnyvelocity]

Nah. - Derrida

[@thenowchurch6419]

The real God cannot be dissolved and so does not fear deconstruction. He rather enjoys it.

[@kennethcarvalho3684]

How lucky to have that last name..

[@conantheseptuagenarian3824]

nah, he could never live up to it. who could?

[@matthewhill5895]

Foucault is the only post modernist I give credence to....only one who's readable.

[@mohamedwael57]

Roland Barthes too

[@horatiohornblower868]

Gobbledegook.

[@PetertheTemp]

This man is babbling into his academic navel without saying ANYTHING about what Derrida actually said. Is this why this video has a few thousand hits and School of Life philosophy videos have tens of thousands?

[@lugus9261]

School of life is fucking terrible for philosophy

[@MrRogerLarson]

This comment is priceless.

[@Maria-up2yv]

Its not his fault that you can't be bothered to read for your studies. Try reading Derrida, if you'd like to know what he 'actually' said.

[@Deleuzeshammerflow]

I'm mad at you :(

[@naturphilosophie1]

deleuze>derrida

[@matthewhill5895]

Foucault is the only post modernist I give credence to....only one who's readable.

[@damonhoppe]

Actually foucault is a post-structuralist. The term post-modernism is much abused. It was originally coined by Lyotard in his book "The Post Modern Condition". It basically refers to a skepticism towards the meta-narrative of the modernist enlightenment project as opposed to post-modernism being used to refer to the collapse of the project as predicted by Nietzsche. Sorry just really felt the need to say that, reading it now it sounds some what pedantic.
