"When workshops on
Augustinianism or whatever it was start appearing as key references to
understanding"
This was my contribution,submitted to point out that Derrida was
part of a colloquium "God,the Gift and the Post-Modern"-it was not
a"workshop on Augustinianism."
-It was attended by a body of thinkers within that tradition,and was
concerned with apophactic theology.
I submitted this reference to point to the range of Derrida's actual
activity,to show that the word
"Derrida" points to a complex body of on-going work,and that to subsume
this work to a global attitude of
prejudice was sufficient grounds to draw commentary.You may feel
"seriously excluded" re specialist vocabularies-this does not entail that
those discussions are worthless,nor need it be the case that any attitude
is required.
Once again- the leap toward proclaiming opinion based upon attitude rather
than inquiry.
