Note the NYT obituary (front page) read, "Derrida, French thinker, dies".
I would have written "philospher", but perhaps "thinker" was what he was.
A.A. Philosopher may sound a bit quaint perhaps for NYT readers. I wouldn't
dispute that he was a philosopher. A professional thinker is a philosopher.
Ooops. I don't think I have the copy of the NYT with me now. But I think it
actually read (little corner left, front page), 'French theorist dies', not
'French thinker'. This compares him to Einstein, rather.
Cheers,
