One More and Then I'm Through

The Guardian asked a few writers, philosophers, and noted intellectuals to summarize Derrida's work. The results were funnier than you'd think.

My favorite? Thank you for asking:

Denis MacShane, minister for Europe
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.
