jan 1, 1967 - "Of Grammatology" by Jacques Derrida

Description:

- all our ideas are riddled with a false system of privileging one thing over another (reason over passion, men over women, words over pictures, high culture over low culture etc.)

- did recognise that inequality is necessary in some areas ie. in jobs etc.

- we need to be more comfortable with the permanently oscillating nature of wisdom instead of looking for a neat solution

- argues that the importance of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's work is the fact that he "starts from a new model of presence: the subject's self-presence within consciousness or feeling"
(relates to the centralising of the 'I' as a sthinking and feeling subject in Romanticism)
