dubdobdee: (dalek)
So I've been rereading Derrida on Levinas, "Violence and Metaphysics", which I first read more than 20 years ago and BACK THEN DIDN'T FOLLOW A WORD OF. (I had it in my head as "wtf this is beyond me: example number one"...)

This time: not so hard. AT ALL. Except crashing into various technical usages which i am too dumb to look up. Back then there was nowhere to look them uop: now there is the whole internet (fsvo "whole" -- ie the bits on the internet about husserl)

Anyway, I cracked and googled 'husserl horizon', to disocver that (a) by "horizon" Husserl means something like "context" (and so presumbly does JD), and (b) here is an essay on husserl vs rorty: who will win? which is surprisingly easy to follow and engagingly put, and gave me a grand idea about epochs of metaphor
