Jacques Derrida
“The progress of writing is thus a natural progress. And it is a progress of reason.”
Jacques Derrida, Of Grammatology

“The worthiest among human beings, said Diogenes according to Stobaeus (3.86.19), are those who despise learning and prefer a state of ignorance-ignorance understood not in the sense of not knowing anything, but in the sense of dispensing with unnecessary learning and acquiring only the knowledge that is sufficient for a good and simple life. This is what Diogenes identified as the only meaning and purpose of philosophy.”
Luis E. Navia, Diogenes The Cynic: The War Against The World

“The international economic regime was premised on the prohibition of economic nationalism (protectionism) with exceptions for national security (protection). But if economic security is national security, how can one draw the line between protection, which is allowed, and protectionism, which is prohibited?”
Anthea Roberts, Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters

Jacques Derrida
“That is why the maxim of natural goodness: “Do to others as you would have them do unto you” should be tempered by this other maxim, “much less perfect indeed, but perhaps more useful; do good to yourself with as little evil as possible to others” (Second Discourse, p. 156) [p. 185; translation modified]. The latter is put “in place” of the former.”
Jacques Derrida, Of Grammatology

Hans Kelsen
“is, however, disputed whether reprisals and war may be interpreted as sanctions of international law, and whether, therefore, international law may be regarded as a legal order.41”
Hans Kelsen, Pure Theory of Law
