IN126 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Jacques Derrida, Baruch Spinoza
Document Summary
Use of creation from diverse concepts (language) Language creates us but leaves the illusion that we are creating it. Hence, grenoville, who seeks to create his own creation but is only the bricoleur. He has no scent and the scent is what is tied to the idea that he is human. Because he has no odor he posses no objectivity. Subject is only subject because of the object but when object is taken away subject can not be defined against himself in dialog and therefore there is no subject. Baldini is hostile to the idea of enlightenment. Emphasized reason, analysis, and individualism rather than traditional lines of authority such as church.
