In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Nothing written by derrida because he is the most rigorous philosopher in western history. The world's first analytic philosopher. Name one sentence of his which isn't 100% clear upon first reading it. I'll wait

...

The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.

Basically anything written by Deleuze

Does this actually say anything or is just gibberish?

it's basically describing the shift from structuralism to post-structuralism

The bee movie script but with only one punctuation mark at the end

Post-structuralism came after sutructuralism.
I've reached the point where nearly makes sense to me.

this thread is such a plebe trap lmao

I'll take the bullet on Derrida. His quotes always communicate something deeply profound but the obscurantism is just fun. Pic related.

I actually get what he's trying to say more a less, there's an art to this bullshit

"The nothing itself nothings" - Martin Heidegger

post-gibberish?

Rationality, taken generally and in the abstract, consists in the thorough-going unity of the universal and the single. Rationality, concrete in the state, consists (a) so far as its content is concerned, in the unity of objective freedom (i.e. freedom of the universal or substantial will) and subjective freedom (i.e. freedom of everyone in his knowing and in his volition of particular ends); and consequently, (b) so far as its form is concerned, in self-determining action on laws and principles which are thoughts and so universal. This Idea is the absolutely eternal and necessary being of mind.

There is no.

This makes perfect sense

This sounds like a surprisingly clear passage of Hegel

Land is another good contender

it does if you meticulously parse the sentence out. it's not so much that it doesn't make sense, but that the sense is communicated poorly.

We unite opposites towards a common goal, this is what it means to be rational.

>we are all handymen: each with his little machines. For every organ-machine, an energy-machine: all the time, flows and interruptions. Judge Schreber has sunbeams in his ass. A solar anus. And rest assured that it works: Judge Schreber feels something, produces something, and is capable of explaining the process theoretically. Something is produced: the effects of a machine, not mere metaphors.

Fpbp

what did he mean Veeky Forums?

Zen koans.

he means that nature is more powerful than man, and if you forget that fact, you are liable to catch a cold

i thought it was about catching syphilis from whores
