So today was a Good Day. First, I received a letter this morning notifying me that I won another scholarship for high GPAness :D And then I got a call from my department head asking me to come see her, so I popped in that afternoon. She offered me a job I took on the spot- a two-year paid internship at the interdepartmental, internationally ( Read more... )

Wow! Thats fantastic - and I LOVE Derrida! What dept are you in?

rose_whispers September 2 2005, 05:25:32 UTC

I've read very little Derrida- I joke that most of what I know about philosophers I've learned from Monty Python... So I'm definitely going to have to read more. I'm the department of religion, and I specialize in Eastern religions, primarily Hinduism and Buddhism. Lots o' fun :D

Damn! I wish I would have known about Monty Python when I was doing my first degree (Rhetoric/Critical Social Theory)...
If you're going to read any Derrida, I highly recommend bit of Austin first. Derrida and Searl have a spectacular debate going on about him - its almost like watching a kung fu master movie :)

*g* Monty Python is a delightful source ;) Here you go: http://www.library.adelaide.edu.au/guide/hum/philosophy/philos_song.html

Can you point me in the direction of some good, erm, beginner titles for Derrida? :D I'm so much more a phenomenologist than a philosopher and I've read nothing at all by him!
