I am fascinated by the fact that Sartre, a Marxist (and pretty much all-round Schlemiel) could see the issue of anti-Semitism so clearly.

Of course his Marxist ideology pitted him against Fascism and its excrescenses. One of these was anti-Semitism, and his perception of this as a Fascist sentiment seems to have wiped a clear spot on an otherwise foggy window.

Although he loves to hear himself write, his clarity on this subject would seem to disqualify him as a patron saint of postmodern intellectualism. Or, as I call it, postintellectual modernism.

postintellectual modernism Very, very nice.

I cannot believe that such labels even survive in the academe. From my standpoint, anyone defining himself as post-something-else has nothing to say: all he declares is am not that named else. So, why don't you rather tell us who you actually are?

Similarly, when will the deconstructionists start constructing something?
