he understood the complexity of natural language which follows from its
necessary logical circularities. and in the absence of logic as the
controlling factor in the construction of meaning, he investigated how power
and desire engineer the construction of meaning. he was a philosopher of
language and has also often been called one of the great poets of the late
twentieth century. We associate with poetry the most intense engagements
with language. If this is so, then Godel, Turing, and Derrida rank among the
great po! ets of the mid to late twentieth century. They have changed the way
we look at language and ourselves.
