i wanted to put it in the news but yeah here is better


Philosopher of language and political thinker, Jaques Derrida, has died of pancreatic cancer at age 74 in a Paris hospital last week.

The charismatic French-Algerian philosopher was the founder of Deconstructive philosophy , the idea that the language of modern western thinking undermines the principles on which it purports to rest. Derridas methods would look at the internal contradictions of notions such as gender, race and sexuality to show that these concepts where never natural, but infact constructions to be questioned as readable as any other work of fiction.

Derida was also active in many political fields. Starting from resistance to the Vietnam-war, Czechoslovakia, apartheid and continuing to support of Palestinian intellectuals, immigrant voting rights, and against the death penalty , particularly in regard to Mumia abu Jamaal. He was an opponent of the Iraq invasion and wrote extensively on issues of justice and authoritarianism.

yeah, a couple of my roommates and I talked a bot abotu this. Two of my roommates are from France, so they knew of him (of course).

They also said how he wasn't that popular in France, but when they came to Canada, they noticed he was much more praised (for lack of a better word at the moment)...... just a little insight :)
