The Inflection Point

Derrida's critique of the idea of logo centrism, you know, as the central motif of the West. He knew at multiple levels what that critique meant because he knew what logos meant. Derrida: You can abandon any pretension to a relationship with the infinite and consider that only a sign of delusion and weakness. And then you can shrug off all responsibility and pursue short-term pleasure while there's some real advantages in that.
