Tweeps! This is the one you absolutely must read! It explains so much and I will be quoting it lots. It needs reading slowly and with full concentration but is clear and well...right.https://twitter.com/AreoMagazine/status/972681293405106176 …

I tried. I gave it an honest go. But this looks like one of the works that Sokal and Bricmont mercilessly tore apart as an intellectual imposture. It was the passage about how Derrida’s logocentrism “de-centered the logos” that defeated me.

You might need to read it more than once. It needs to use these terms and also he is quite poetic but they are explained and there is a solid argument and clear insights into what is happening. By making language central, Derrida moved what it referred to into second place.

It's not like that tho! It's arguing for an objective reality and liberalism. I might translate it. It will lose its beauty but be clear.

I didn't see things in these terms until it was set out. Also, I love the way it was set out.

Ha! I thought it was borderline unreadable and the idea was banal. But I’m looking forward to your takes on it. :)

You should have written it then! We need people pinning down precisely what has happened theoretically and then culturally on the left.
