I feel the same way. There are things that bother me about myself before I fall asleep, adn before I wake up, that don't faze me when I am awake, I can ignore them, deal with them, etc. But in these states before and after sleep they are more prevelant.

I got a lot from this speech. I feel something like that too, and I think it's very valuable to hear intellectual authority-figures like Derrida talk about these things honestly.

Derrida smells of poo

refering to the commentary of tinalilith well who cares anyhow

A commentary that I totally agree with. Especially the movie on Derrida sheds a strange light on him. I find the film mysifying in a negative way, with all that background music etc. Anyhow, Derrida didn't make the movie. Maybe future philosophers should learn to renounce projects turning, posthumously, into a sort of cult. And indeed, as under almost EVERY video, in which someone is displayed sharing a thought, most people act in their primitve impulse to tell their opinion and dislike.

I like that he had doubts in his mind about what he was doing. It shows he was just a man.

Your parody is even funnier than the real thing. I didn't think it was possible. You should do this for a living!

Consumate BS artist with a vocabulary. Strictly for the over sixties.

Who let the dogs out? Back to your kennels, Myrmidons! You have named your Achilles and his heel was pierced long ago. But I daresay your jobs are still safe.

to me it sounds like he's simply saying his writing comes from an unconscious place that he does not dare question. perhaps he was more fond of jung than freud...i would never have thought derrida, of all the french critics, to subscribe to the "muse sing in me" tradition which is as old as homer.

Seems that even philosophers have been commercialized here... as if they are movie stars or soccer players, people either like them or don't like them, and they log in here to announce that. I do not think philosophy is about liking or disliking someone; I think it's all about an attempt to understand someone.

Foucault, at least, deserves to be looked into. In my opinion Sartre's existentialism is a mere extension of already existent societal tendencies of the time. But then again, I'm no philosophy major.

kaspapolgar "shut up... You do not know what you're talking about. And Foucault? And Deleuze? And Guattari?" The people you cite, like yourself, don't know what they're talking about.

Multiple biodegradables, like acorns in the mouth of a Gide-like squirrel, otherwise cross produce a certain counter-frisson; on the one hand there is a De-Mand for the offended breast, on the other a longing for a state in which the breast was not, just so, a swelling ambiguity.

The cryto-Oedipal valorization of Pharmakonical sub-indices by no means depriveleges the variant performances of haunted absences. The absence of a signified presence simulataneously de-couples the latent grammatology of the collapsing 'insight', thus creating a safe counter-space for the priapic professor.

The game is bigger. It is not only what you say, but what you dare say.

Derrida's an obscurantist and a tiresome sophist. I'm with Chomsky on this one, there's far more interesting thinkers out there.

Great intellectual honesty here. The only French philosopher since Sartre who is genuinely worthy of serious attention.

It is amazing the truth he speaks about the verge of sleep thought. I have the same feelings about how I have acted in public situations or deep fears about dying in those moments. It is horrifying the stuff that you deal with as a conscious being.

all mouth, insults and no worthwhile content

sorry bourgeois white elephant, don't want to blight your parents' umbilical poppycock, haha
