  A Piece of Monologue: The Online Journal of Rhys Tranter — Authority: 430
  While I was away this week, I was surprised to hear the news that anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss has passed away. My own interests are anthropological only in the loosest sense, but the influence of Lévi-Strauss became massively influential across a broad range of cultural academic disciplines: The fame of ...

• Love and finitude

  
  Thought Leader — Authority: 530
  But what if all that stuff about “kissing the joy as it flies”, which I wrote about some time ago here (see “The pragmatics of love”), just does not seem to work, or work out, and despite all one’s attempts to do justice to one’s beloved — albeit within the inescapable limits of one’s humanity [...]

• Why read Derrida?

  
  A Piece of Monologue: The Online Journal of Rhys Tranter — Authority: 430
  An excerpt from Nicholas Royles excellent  Jacques Derrida : [Derrida] is an extraordinarily precise and faithful reader. In a quite disarming way, Derridas readings [...] can often appear to be just describing what is happening in that text. If we wanted or rather if we were able to stop things there, this alone ...

  entschwindet und vergeht — Authority: 118
  This would be a particularly brutal caricature, yet it nevertheless contains a grain of truth: there is indeed an undeniable respect in which Derrida (along with Heidegger) and to a lesser extent Deleuze (along with Nietzsche) provide the most immediate reference points for understanding Laruelle’s thought, in which ...

  A Piece of Monologue: The Online Journal of Rhys Tranter — Authority: 430
  From Catherine Belseys superb introduction to poststructuralism: Q. Derrida is very hard to read. Why doesnt he write more simply? Doesnt he want to communicate? A. There are three reasons why we have difficulty reading Derrida. The first is that he is a (Continental) philosopher, with a range of reference that ...

  The Wednesday quotation, part XIII: Jacques Derrida on ruination and love: Ruin is not a negative thing. First, it is obviously not a thing. One could write [. . .] a short treatise on the love of ruins. What else is there to love, anyway? One cannot love a monument, a work of architecture, an institution as such ...

  What do N.T. Wright and Derrida have to do with the Mark 10 passage for this Sundays RCL Scriptures?

• The Death Penalty

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 427
  Reportedly, several of Derrida’s final seminars were on the death penalty. I don’t have access to the seminars, so I only know the basic outlines of his argument as found in various interviews — basically, the death penalty isn’t just one penalty among others; its removal would change the concept of law. ...

The basic principles are outlined in his book On Grammatology, which was published in 1967, at a time of great intellectual ferment in Western Europe and, indeed, most of the rest of the world. Derrida drew ...

• Musings on Matter

  
  Mormon Metaphysics — Authority: 131
  Vallicella’s post on matter and Working Note’s post on Derrida and matter have had me thinking today. (When not working) Of course both materialism and naturalism have long been problematic terms — often more clearly defined in terms of what the author using them opposes.
