8216 | Deconstruction is not neutral; it intervenes [Derrida] |
Full Idea: Deconstruction, I have insisted, is not neutral. It intervenes. | |
From: Jacques Derrida (Positions [1971], p.76) | |
A reaction: This, I think, is because there is in Derrida, as in most French philosophers, a strong streak of Marxism, and a desire to change the world, rather than merely understanding it. Idea 8213 shows the sort of thing he wants to change. |
