The first postmodern philosopher, Heidegger, was a literal Nazi

>No, it's not, and if those were the actual intentions, Derrida would have spent some time looking at his own jewishness and how that influenced his perspective and intentions instead of focusing on white people and western culture.

He did.

It can be learned on its own. It's useful to know that the ideas aren't divorced from the cultural, mythological, historical idioms that form the language they are written in though, but these things aren't necessarily required.

>>9971705
Yeah funny that

>What I call "deconstruction," even when it is directed against something European, is European, is a product
of Europe, a reflection of Europe on itself as experience of a radical otherness. Since the days of the
Enlightenment, Europe has been in a permanent state of self-critique, and in this tradition of perfectibility
there is a hope for the future. At least I hope so, and this is what fuels my indignation before utterances
that condemn Europe utterly, as if it were defined only by its crimes.

> Europe, an entirely other Europe but with the
same set of memories, could - or so I would wish - unite against the politics of American global dominance
(see Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.) and at the same time also against Arab-Muslim theocratism,
unenlightened, and without a political future (but let's also take note of the diversity even in these two
blocs, and let us ally ourselves with the opposition within them.)

>>9971744
This just says that he his against globalism and theocratism.

>>9971806
Yeah funny that. There's also another paragraph there too.

>>9971822
Which says he considers his own concept european (and perfectible), probably because he his european himself.

>>9971852
Of course you guess I am. That's what yo do.

Revisionism

He literally avoided taking up arms against the French in the Algerian war of independence and instead taught the language. The dude's a Euraboo through and through and evidently has greater respect for the intellectual integrity of European thinking than you and your informal fallacies. Quit inverting our board culture and values... how many times have you been banned but still return?

>>9971962
So the answer is you've been banned a lot but you can't see the parallels between kicking Jews out and kicking you people out. Too bad Derrida is the only Jewish postmodernist otherwise you might have a point.

>>9972039
I see it's too inconvenient for you to acknowledge that yes, Derrida is the only Jewish postmodernist ("idols" plural), so you abandoned the point. Serious discussion indeed. Is it all the serious discussion that gets you banned?

>>9971253
The philosopher behind the philosophy must be understood, which does require understanding a bit about the culture, mythology, history, etc. that the philosopher lived in. If you divorce the philosophy from the philosopher, it's like blindfolding one eye when analyzing something.

>Is it true that the culture, mythology, history, etc. of a place must be understood before looking into and understanding said place's philosophy and how it shaped the individuals from there?
No, but the context helps.

>Or can philosophy simply be learned on its own, as the ideas themselves, largely divorced from those things?
Yes, but it will be the worse for it.

>Not understanding the slow growth of modernity from through history
