Hi Seda,

I occasionally played chess with Cage when he was alive, and one day, I
asked him if he had read any French post-structuralist literature
(specifically mentioning Derrida's name), and he simply said, no, and
nothing more. It appeared that he wasn't even interested in the idea.

As you know, he was a big fan of McLuhan and Zen. Though he wasn't aware of
Deconstruction, everything he did was already deconstructed (decentered). As
much as I like Derrida's writing, what seems odd is how much attention he
gets in the field of philosophy, when there have always been people who were
perfectly aware of the problem of logocentrism, and sought to decenter. The
only difference is that Derrida was able to explain it within the framework
of the Western academic philosophy.
