“If … Derrida does not share the same theoretical assumption that makes any philosopher worth his or her salt a philosopher, in other words, knowing how to live by learning how to die, Derrida also stands for — and perhaps this partly accounts for the icy reception that he received from philosophers — something that philosophy is unable to deal with. Philosophy … cannot fully account for the challenge of deconstruction as a “practice” of reading, which unsettles the opposition between the active and contemplative life.”
from Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
