‘As Haven describes, he organized a symposium on structuralism at Johns Hopkins in 1966. ... the triumph of the event was an address by a young French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, who was just beginning to “deconstruct” the grand schemes of structuralist thought as mere creations of “discourse.”’

Seems particularly insightful given what we know now in this age of Machine Learning.

Thanks for posting.
