Re: Wild Thought

Yes, but separately, Daniel. It was really hard to make clear sense of
that longish e-mail you sent earlier today, but it seemed to me that
faith picked up where reason left off for you. The traditional
Christian formulation is "faith seeking understanding" -- reductively,
we get our beliefs through revelation -- through faith -- then work them
out rationally. There's nothing wrong with this so long as you're
concious of what you're doing. Calling the entire process rational
isn't quite accurate, though, as well as saying the whole thing is
irrational. Both are generally given discreet places and seemed to be
in your framework.

Similarly, one of the contributors to Diego's link argued that Derrida
was working within the western philosophical tradition, not outside it.
 You could call it a critique or examination of the limits of language
or reason or philosophy.
