But aside from the fact that this program is inherently uninteresting, it is, in fact, not at all clear that it is possible. ... [T]he naivete of the crowd is deconstruction's very starting point, and its subsequent move is as much an emotional as an intellectual leap to a position that feels different as much in the one way as the other. . . ."--The book CN - PN98.D43 E45 1989 SN - 9780691186177 SN - 0691186170 SN - 9780691067544 SN - 0691067546 KW - Deconstruction.
