attempting to escape the naïve metaphysical projects of non-agency mortgage-backed securities
- mortgagez: "In his 1989 Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity, Richard Rorty argues that Derrida (especially in his book, The Post Card: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond) purposefully uses words that cannot be defined (e.g. Différance), and uses previously definable words in contexts diverse enough to make understanding impossible, so that the reader will never be able to contextualize Derrida's literary self. Rorty, however, argues that this intentional obfuscation is philosophically grounded. In garbling his message Derrida is attempting to escape the naïve, positive metaphysical projects of his predecessors."

- Wait, doesn't "tranche," in the French, simultaneously mean traunch as in a slice (positive portion) of something, and trench, as in a hole (present absence) in something? Why else would you use that word?!
- Also, I am disappointed that mortgagez apparently reads quaternary sources on post-structuralism!
