Derrida is Trashed
For some reason, some people seem to think that Jacques Derrida is a competent philosopher. In fact, Derrida is a loser philosopher. Derrida has two major works that are often cited, "Of Grammtology" and "The Force of Law." The problem, however, is that both of the foregoing essays are incoherent crap. In Of Grammatology, Derrida spends the whole essay, essentially babbling, and then, comes to the "conclusion" that a "literary essay" is "evil." Well, obviously, Derrida is absurd. Following Greek philosophy, we know that a literary essay is good, not evil. For example, it is hard to see how King Arthur, or Robin Hood, or the Count of Monte Cristo, are "evil." In fact, the opposite is true. Classical literature reveals reality in a meaningful way. Moreover, it is hard to see how such Walt Disney classics, such as Bambi and The Little Mermaid, are somehow "evil." Next, Derrida, in his essay, The Force of Law, spends most of the essay using a rather stupid literary technique of attributing most of his alledged philosophy to some mythical character, "Benjamin." Then, Derrida comes up with the rather sick, idea, that we should reject Justice which is enforced with reasonable force, and instead, we should become terrorists, "spilling blood on the floor", with violence for the sake of violence. Once again we can see that Derrida is stupid at best.
