I don't think the article presupposes this. "Jacques Derrida [. . .] signed
on as co-author of an article [. . .] in an unmistakable endorsement of
modernist Enlightenment principles. Derrida, the apostle of
deconstructionism, is now advocating some decidedly constructive and
Eurocentric activism." The author seems to see this particular political
statement as contradictory to this particular man's philosophy. Perhaps he
is wrong about this, which would render the force of his article lifeless,
but he doesn't seem to be supposing a generic principle that political
alignments require philosophical ones.
