Dasein, Zen & Deconstruction
September 2, 2006
The following is a close reading of the text edited by Reynolds & Roffe called ‘Understanding Derrida’ (2004).
(p.17) Dasein – so would Derrida be sceptical of Zen? A craving for origins. Buddhism is against metaphysics after all. Zen recognises, aknowledges its aporias, its blind spots engendered by logocentric discourse. For SPA, the senior leaders need to be very comfortable with uncertainty, incoherence and instability. Hence, for the programme, the intention to subvert blind adherence to orthodoxy. Don’t cling to the company as having the answer, at least not just the classroom portions: use your network; rhizomation. There is not sanctioned order of priority; or is there? I guess the company comes first.
