but perhaps by being "filtered" one is thrust through, and trapped within, the essential filter of metaphysics. I speak of course of Being. only in being filtered, therefore, does the filter attain its being as the question concerning being. as Heidegger notes, without resting upon a naive grasping towards an unfiltering, the history of metaphysics, as deconstruction, filters itself. but how do we come back to this filter? and what are the conditions of possibility for the groundless ground of filtering -- in other words, for philosophy? the filter which filters, Being, I propose is indeed a "philter." the philter: no less, the pharmakon.

>His year in Le Mans was horrible. Derrida was now thirty and having to work with ‘bloody idiots’ who ‘got on his nerves’. On one occasion, he was invited – forced – to give the speech on prize-giving day, a ‘ridiculous secular homily’. He was bored, irritable, suffering from what he later called his ‘big depression’. Students recall his anger that they had not, at seventeen, read Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. He saw a psychiatrist and was prescribed the antidepressant Anafranil, which gave him tremors and hot flushes.

But to debunk is to confirm.

Why is he the only remaining unrefuted philosopher?

Was he the only postmodern philosopher to defend the idea of truth? Even if in the whole economy of truth, justice, democracy, etc. it was only always 'to come'?

>the phonic substance i.e. voice is privileged in metaphysics over other (derivative) expression by its proximity to truth, in that it is more directly experienced by the speaker and the listener than others

Was he the first non-autistic philosopher?

Can anyone explain deconstruction in a non-Petersonian way?

You cannot make any honest claim to an understanding of philosophy if you have not read this man.

*deconstructs western civilization without even being understood*

psh... nothing personnel kid

>It would be wrong to say that the spoken word precedes the written word because we require writing to distinguish between some spoken words i.e. homophones

So what exactly is so controversial or destructive about this philosophy?

No discernable relevancy here. Stick to being a non-entity outside your autistic cannon, Witty.

>I am addressing myself here to God, the only one I take as a witness, without yet knowing what these sublime words mean, and this grammar, and to, and witness, and god, and take, take God, and not only do I pray, as I have never stopped doing all my life, and pray to him, but I take him here and take him as my witness, I give myself what he gives me, i.e. the i.e. to take the time to take God as a witness

Political discourse can't be saved from itself because in the 21C the production of weaponized/monetarized discourse is itself the point. When you have a system of mutually beneficial war-machines that feed off each other things work because they engender one-sided views that sell books.

Both sides benefit from a downward spiral into totalizing either/or splits. The clumsier and more stupid one side becomes, the more the other side becomes licensed to act even more clumsily and stupidly in return and everyone turns on the TV to watch the fireworks. Deliberate misrepresentation greases the wheels of irony and cynicism and lines the pockets of disingenuous fucks and shallow pundits on both sides of the political spectrum who perform a clerical function by Making Things Real Simple.

And good luck shooting the messenger, who has always-already-almost shot himself. Peterson is wrong about Derrida because it's not Derrida but his disciples who are air-horning him. But social justice/alt-right are just two arms of a system that work because they benefit the lowest and the stupidest and most degenerate aspects of thought.

The true political pill is the Wittgenstein pill. But dead air is bad for Neilsen ratings.
