I dunno if this discourse is happening over here, but a dude with a substack has broken Twitter with posts on Continental philosophy.

I participated in this very debate long ago, the exact same points were made on both sides, the same insults were hurled in both directions, and then I got the fuck out of philosophy like any responsible person should.

Art described his firing as ideological, and Abbott seized on this word to paint Art as a radical leftist and an example of what's coming.

If Art, a centrist, can be painted as a radical leftist to further a right wing political agenda, there aren't many who can't be.

...Led to a DOGE-like purge, with Art as its highest ranking victim. This, the shift from old business conservatism to a MAGA conservatism focused on purging certain ideas, cost Art his job in the Provost's office.

What actually happened is that Art was implementing the conservative vision of the university leadership, primarily focused on emphasizing job and career skills in the university's curriculum, when a sudden change to a different, more MAGA conservatism in the leadership...

They both accused each other of not knowing the relevant literature, but like so many American academics, Searle took Derrida's unfamiliarity with what he saw as the relevant literature as a moral failing.

People tend to see this debate as one between analytic and continental philosophy, or between clear, precise language and postmodernist obscurity, but it's hard for me to read Derrida's remarks on the whole thing and not think it was a clash between Americanness and Frenchness
