Ah, the French

I missed this one. That damn fool Jacques Derrida died last week.

I love this brief synopsis of Derrida's thought:

The core of Derrida's thinking is that every text contains multiple meanings. To read is neither to know nor to understand, but to begin a process of exploration that is essential to comprehend oneself and society. This is, however, the sort of pretentious bullshit language a minister for Europe can only use when speaking French.
