A wonderful piece, friend. Derrida has influenced me plentifully, and I can say you have captured some of the main themes and direction of his philosophy very, very well. If you were ever curious, Derrida has a lot of other books that are hardly talked about as well but that are always worth reading. There is no thinker like him.

Looking forward to your Foucault piece. You're hitting the nail on the head for some of my favorite kinds of philosophers of the 20th century—and your writing is as thoughtful as it commands respect. Thank you very much.

There's a contemplative understanding of language that shares much with Derrida. See my post 'How Language Works.' Howardhertz.substack.com
