This recent thread on beauty and subjectivity keeps making me think of Derrida's "Tympanum" (sp? I'm too lazy to look it up, and I pulled a muscle in my neck -- dunno how that happens) from Margins ..... one reason I mentioned him.

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. Erin Toronto Quoting JimKandJulieB@xxxxxxx: > How d'ya feel about Heidegger, Erin? (btw, who's "they"?)
