On Describing the Other
Malik, Kenan
http://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/on-describing-the-other/Date Written: 2012-09-07 Year Published: 2012 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX14526 My criticism is not primarily about Judith Butler’s style; it is principally about the substance of her arguments and, more broadly, of poststructuralist arguments. I am not opposed to ‘difficult’ writing. There are many philosophers with whom it repays to work through the difficulties, the obscurities and the obtuseness; Hegel, for instance, even Heidegger in parts. Butler, in my eyes at least, is not such a philosopher. Subject Headings |
