Been suffering from eyestrain so as to miss most of this thread, but isn't there
something untoward about being very cocksure about any of this.
Why not accept nothing-beyond-the-text, the-world-as-text, etc., as useful
demonstrations and insights into what we do NOT know. If we used to think we
knew anything for sure, we don't think so anymore.
Deconstruction is a series of humbling (and instructive) stories we finally got
around to telling ourselves.
Let's put deconstruction and postmodernism on the same approximate level as the
Medieval requirement for a Final Cause .
Love them both!
