Re: Reading and lessons

Actually Jim, the most Derridean argument I have made here is to suggest that
people actually read the texts. The most fundamental part of Derrida's
philosophy that I have borrowed here is a simple respect for reading and for
careful citation and for the archive. Close, patient, detailed, reading is
something Derrida has always emphasized in all of his work.

All the best,
