In Derrida’s peculiarly dogmatic repetition of Nietzsche on several occasions, Derrida makes of Paul the first Christian and the worst kind of pop Platonist. As I have already started to explain, as ironic as it may be, a new materialism must learn to read religion like the postfoundational materialists we claim to be rather than looking to it for indications of an idealism we want to designate as an enemy. In repeating Nietzsche, Derrida effectively leaves the real issue—the excess of phenomenal immanence that disturbs everyday life—outside his readerly frame.
