It's their own fault for straying from the anti-anti-metaphysical analytic methodology laid out by Quine. You can still have your feels and rejections of naturalism in philosophy without being a total fucking hack

> tfw you like Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze and Lacan even if you don't agree with everything they say
> tfw you believe philosophy still has a place in the world and cannot be reduced to art or science
> tfw you wish intellectuals would still be treated like superstars, it's at least better than wannabe pop scientists
> tfw the only thing close to a philosophical superstar is either an anarcho-syndicalist mummy that can barely speak or a clown *sniff* and so on and so on

Nowhere is the hostility of the Anglo-American tradition toward the dialectical more apparent, however, than in the widespread notion that the style of these works is obscure and cumbersome, indigestible, abstract—or, to sum it all up in a convenient catchword, Germanic. It can be admitted that it does not conform to the canons of clear and fluid journalistic writing taught in the schools. But what if those ideals of clarity and simplicity have come to serve a very different ideological purpose, in our present context, from the one Descartes had in mind? What if, in this period of the overproduction of printed matter and the proliferation of methods of quick reading, they were intended to speed the reader across a sentence in such a way that he can salute a readymade idea effortlessly in passing, without suspecting that real thought demands a descent into the materiality of language and a consent to time itself in the form of the sentence? In the language of Adorno—perhaps the finest dialectical intelligence, the finest stylist, of them all—density is itself a conduct of intransigence: the bristling mass of abstractions and cross-references is precisely intended to be read in situation, against the cheap facility of what surrounds it, as a warning to the reader of the price he has to pay for genuine thinking.

Derrida never said anything of substance. He's an obscurantist fraudster

brainlet spotted. Anglo-Americans are confirmed too stupid for Derrida. Just look at what happened when Searle tried to engage him.

Bro Two Dogmas of Empiricism is the only worthwhile piece of philosophy that dude produced. Kim, Putnam, and Chomsky smoke him on everything else.
