Late mention: Derrida
Read one section of Derrida's brief Gift of Death. The essay discussing Abraham's move to sacrifice Isaac was very good. In the remainder, Derrida cross-referenced too much for me to appreciate. Also read some of Deconstruction in a Nutshell, a parsing of a roundtable discussion with Derrida held at Villanova in 1994. John D. Caputo, Philosophy Professor there, obfuscates everything, rendering the dense content impenetrable.
