別の所に載ってる抜粋。 M. Derrida's career had its roots in the heady days of the 1960s and his writings continue to reveal their origins in that period. Many of them seem to consist in no small part of elaborate jokes and puns, 'logical phallusies' and the like, and M. Derrida seems to us to have come close to making a career out of what we regard as translating into the academic sphere tricks and gimmicks similar to those of the Dadaists or of the concrete poets. Certainly he has shown considerable originality in this respect. But ... M. Derrida's voluminous writings in our view stretch the normal forms of academic scholarship beyond recognition. Above all - as every reader can very easily establish for himself (and for this purpose any page will do) - his works employ a written style that defies comprehension. When the effort is made to penetrate it, however, it becomes clear, to us at least, that, where coherent assertions are being made at all, these are either false or trivial. Academic status based on what seems to us to be little more than semi-intelligible attacks upon the values of reason, truth, and scholarship is not, we submit, sufficient grounds for the awarding of an honorary degree in a distinguished university.9 http://www.msstate.edu/Fineart_Online/Backissues/Vol_18/faf_v18_n02/faftext/gye.html
