Jacques Derrida, RIP



The French philosopher Jacques Derrida, the founder of deconstructionism, has passed away at the age of 74.




Derrida, had concluded that the traditional way we read texts makes a number of false assumptions and that they have multiple meanings even the author may not have intended or understood.

Though I don't think Derrida had Peter Vescey specifically in mind, the theory still applies.
