Deconstructionism Explained

Front Page magazine offers a nice little break from the war with a piece by Robert Locke called Deconstructing Deconstructionism. It’s as readable an explanation of this nonsense as you’re ever likely to get. One interesting point that he makes is that while this is a very popular subject in english, history, anthropology, sociology and womens’ studies departments, very few philosophy departments will have anything to do with it.

After you’re done reading it, papers generated by the web site described here may be more comprehensible, but don’t count on it.
