Jacques Derrida, one of France's most famous philosophers, has died at the age of 74, it has been announced. Derrida died in a Paris hospital on Friday night, news agency AFP reported. He suffered from pancreatic cancer.
The loss of one of our time's great minds, who no doubt had a lot more work still in him. I was wondering what people here's opinion is of Derrida, and the theories he espoused? Is deconstruction theory dead, or is it a vital part of our world view today?
