So did anyone notice (or care) that Jacques Derrida died over the weekend?
Cannot think of a name

No, I didn't notice. Thank you. I guess it got overshadowed by Superman's death.

Yeah, and I thought there was a post about it, too. Didn't know much about his philosophies, so I can't really comment.

No - interesting. (The event I mean, not Derrida).
Could you post the link? The philosophy society at my uni should probably know.

He wasn't my favorite, but I can sympathize. I was inconsolable when I found out Martin Heidegger died. Granted, it was 1997.. but still.

Why?
Were you hoping that someone would finally get around to taking him to Nuremberg and hanging him?
