RE: Restored

3. His writing attempts to demonstrate the principles of his philosophy (we
all know he's a philosopher, right, and not a literary critic?), so employs
word play (which is really only intelligible in French) and other devices to
actively demonstrate the seams in language rather than just describe them.

Jim, how do you tell the difference between a literary critic and a
philosopher in this day in age? We still haven't settled poetry and prose
and now you throw this out. I am joking seriously. The modern philosopher
is reduced to language and as far as I know so is the Literary critic. I
thought that was a Derrida thing, blurring the lines, maybe not him directly
but he did apply his technique to literature and he said some philosophical
things about it but most Literary Critic do that. So? You point out the
lines that the crayon marks must stay in, but if someone labels them self a
Philosopher and ignores the lines they are heralded as geniuses. Do some
people scribble more coherently than others?
