[extropy-chat] PHIL: Derrida and Deconstruction

[nvitamore at austin.rr.com]

Max left two papers on the breakfast table from me this morning:

1.  "Postmodernism disrobed" by Richard Dawkins
http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/dawkins.html

and, 

2.  "The Broken House: The postsemanticist paradigm of discourse and
textural objectivism" (on Baudrillardist hyperreality and dialectic
desublimation) by John J.R. Scuglia, Department of English, Yale University.

[Afraid I cannot give you a link to this one because it was created by the
Postmodernism Generator (Bulhak) software which turns any muck into what
Alan Sokal and Jean Briemont would call a mélange of banal philosophical
jargon.  But it gave me a really great laugh!
