      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.

      Maybe tomorrow. Right now it’s as clear as mud and is reminding me of Judith Butler.

      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.

      The opacity results from him describing contemporary leftism in detail. I find it morbidly fascinating. Clearly not everybody's cup of tea.

      No, I didn't think it would be but it gets at the essence of what is going on here both with its detailed breakdown and its style. It's remarkable, I think.

          Perhaps my imagination, but the style appears to be a direct challenge to the "logocentric" left - I can play this game too! At least, I'm having some fun believing that.

          Yes! You can have your language and your tropes and your concepts but I can do it too and I can even make precise analysis of the situation in it and present it pleasingly, poetically whilst you waffle on saying nothing and doing it painfully.
