"Thank you for the flowers and the book by Derrida..."
I've never been a big fan of deconstructionism, but it's certainly worth noting the passing of distinguished French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
According to the BBC article linked above, "Jacques Derrida could claim to be one of the few philosophers of the late 20th Century who people other than students of the subject had actually heard of, says Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield." Indeed, I just mentioned a little while ago on the Anime and Manga Research Circle mailing list that Derrida was casually mentioned in a recently-broadcast episode of "Lupin III" on Cartoon Network.
