Notably: Jacques Derrida, the French philosopher, literary critic, inventor of deconstruction and the man who gave academics license to write atrociously and impenetrably, was born on this day in 1930. “”Nor is it certain from Derrida’s ornately obscurantist prose that he himself knows what he means,” Edward O. Wilson once wrote (in Consilience, not the most easily penetrable book on the planet). Here’s the irascible Roger Kimball eulogizing him in the Wall Street Journal after his death in October 2004, an occasion that got then-President Jacques Chirac issuing regrets: “What is deconstruction? Mr. Derrida would never say. It was a question certain to spark his contempt and ire. He denied that deconstruction could be meaningfully defined. I think he was right about that, though not necessarily for the reasons he believed. But even if deconstruction cannot be defined, it can be described. For one thing, deconstruction comes with a lifetime guarantee to render discussion of any subject completely unintelligible. It does this by linguistic subterfuge. One of the central slogans of deconstruction is il n’y a pas de hors-texte, i.e., “there is nothing outside the text.” (It sounds better in French.) In other words, deconstruction is an updated version of nominalism, the view that the meanings of words are completely arbitrary and that, at bottom, reality is unknowable. Of course, if you put it as baldly as that, people will just laugh and ignore you. But if you dress up the idea in a forbidding vocabulary, full of neologisms and recondite references to philosophy, then you may have a prescription for academic stardom.” It should be noted that Derrida had a bigger fan base in the united States than in France, where centuries of bullshit have honed bullshit detectors a bit more sharply than on our less cynical shores. (It did not help that Paul de Man, another major deconstructionist, turned out to be an enthusiastic Nazi sympathizer.)

“There was always an element of the Republican Party that was batshit crazy,” Mac Stipanovich, the chief of staff to Governor Bob Martinez, a moderate Republican, told me. “They had lots of different names—they were John Birchers, they were ‘movement conservatives,’ they were the religious right. And we did what every other Republican candidate did: we exploited them. We got them to the polls. We talked about abortion. We promised—and we did nothing. They could grumble, but their choices were limited.

“So what happened?” Stipanovich continued. “Trump opened Pandora’s box and let them out. And all the nasty stuff that was in the underbelly of American politics got a voice. What was thirty-five per cent of the Republican Party is now eighty-five per cent. And it’s too late to turn back.”

–From Dexter Filkins’s “Can Ron DeSantis Displace Donald Trump as the G.O.P.’s Combatant-in-Chief?” The New Yorker, June 27, 2022.
