HI. I'm not an expert but I do know some things. But before I tell you anything I want to ask you if you know the title of the dvd? I would really like to have it.

By the way, there is a lot of pages around the internet with philosophy, just google search derrida and lots will come.

Now. I haven't read directly his works, but I've read things about him. First, he proposed the idea of deconstruction. This is complex, not to understand hwo it works, but to understand why he says it's needed in cotnrast to structuralism. The problem with reading such a recent philosopher is that he obtained many things from other philosphers: Heidegger, Hegel, Husserl, Freud... So actually do understand him, it's quite neccesary to understand the preivous ones. Now, deconstruction basically is that instead of building up knowledge, in each area, we should get the knowledges of each are, and take them out of the pyramids of each area, into the whole pyramid, that is, put it into othe rpyramids and confirm that it works: because for him, they will work in all pyramids. This is definatelly related to the theory of everything.
