By "they" I meant the whole troupe of German Idealists. I actually really like Heidegger, but for whatever reason I never did develop any serious interest in his work (like I have with those from Kant up to and including Schopenhauer). I've read a fair bit of Derrida, i.e. of Grammatology, Writing and Difference, Margins of Philosophy, Rogues, but I can't say I'm particularly fond of the deconstructionist program. It seems to me like a somewhat cheap Hegelianism. I did like the second essay on reason in Rogues. I read something by Lacan once, though I can't remember what. I recall not being able to make heads or tails of it.

How d'ya feel about Heidegger, Erin? (btw, who's "they"?) If you ever dip your toe into Derrida or Lacan, I'm sure you commentary will be enlightening and entertaining.

It was writing about Hegel that made me realize how truly odd the man was. But they were all odd.
