Derrida is Overrated

View through CrossRef
This Paper goes to the original sources of Derrida and finds them to be wanting. In "Of Grammatology," Derrida hems and haws around and then comes to the rather interesting conclusion that a literary work or an article or books is "evil". In so doing, Derrida is of course violating Ockham's Razor and logical positivism. Additionally, Derrida shows himself to be logically incoherent in his argument. You see, obviously Derrida's own literary essay, Of Grammatology must in Derrida's own words be considers evil, and therefore cannot be take seriously. Moreover, in "The Force of Law," Derrida a jew, comes to the rather startling conclusion that we should reject reasonable force to promote Justice, and instead should become terrorists and murder, rape, and torture jews and others, and spill blood, just for fun. Given the foregoing, it is clear that Derrida's reputation as an outstanding philosopher and linguist is unbelievably overrated. One supposes that Derrida would have done better staying a shoe maker in France, rather than coming to America to ape philosophy.
