  Paul de Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul de Man (December 6, 1919 – December 21, 1983) was a Belgian-born deconstructionist literary critic and theorist.
De Man is also known for subtle readings of English and German romantic and post-romantic poetry and philosophy (The Rhetoric of Romanticism) and concise and deeply ironic essays of a quasi-programmatic theoretical orientation.
De Man was the nephew of Hendrik de Man, an eminent politician who served in the collaborationist government and whose influence probably secured Paul a position as a literary critic for Le Soir, a Brussels daily which was seized by the German occupation military government.

Paul’s zeal to advance within the ranks of Judaism was based upon his desire to win the favor and approval of his contemporaries.
Paul did not say that he feared his message might be in error, but rather that “he might be running, or had run, in vain” (2:2).
Paul’s account of his second journey dealt a devastating blow to the Judaizers, who were preaching a “different gospel” and who had, by insinuation or accusation, attacked both Paul’s preaching and his position as an apostle.

 Critical Theory: Paul de Man
A deconstructive theorist, Paul de Man had a powerful influence on a generation of the most elite students of literature in the United States.
Born in Antwerp, de Man studied science and philosophy at the University of Brussels.
Since his death, de Man's reputation has been tarnished by the revelation that during World War II he wrote anti-Semitic articles for a publication that sympathized with the Nazi regime.

 Mieszkowski - "Reading, Begging, Paul de Man" - Legacies of Paul de Man - Praxis Series - Romantic Circles
Perhaps most remarkably, de Man consistently reveals the degree to which the putative "themes" of a text are at once constituted and undermined by a figural logic in which the authority of linguistic reference is both vital and irreducibly aberrant.
De Man possessed an uncanny ability to craft lapidary conclusions for his arguments, pronouncements that with memorable eloquence describe—some would say, prescribe—fundamental disjunctions between grammar and rhetoric or between the phenomenal and the material.
This is why de Man is adamant that no account of the complexities of the allegorical nature of language will ever form the basis for a procedure of meta-reading that could facilitate a stable set of judgments or a reliable system of knowledge.

 [No title]
De Man structures his essay around a discussion of allegory and symbol.
De Man goes on to a discussion of irony, which he defines as "a relationship, within consciousness, between two selves." He emphasises, however, that this relationship "is not an intersubjective relationship"; it is not a relationship between two subjects, but a self-conscious relationship of the subject to itself.
De Man refers to irony as a "doublement," a capacity observing the self, looking on the self as if it were an other: "The dedoublement thus designates the activity of a consciousness by which a man differntiates himself from the non-human world.

 Christ As "Man": Does Paul Speak of Jesus as an Historical Person?
Paul and the earliest Christians thus lived at a time when the world of matter was viewed as only one dimension of reality, the observable half of a larger, integrated whole, whose other—invisible—half was regarded as the “genuine” reality, accessible to the intellect.
Paul calls this effect “dying and rising to Christ.” Drawing on the spiritual forces generated by Christ’s redemptive act, the believer dies to his or her old life in sin and rises to a new one free of sin; and he or she inherits the promise of future resurrection.
Paul offers the view (one he shared with a central line of Jewish thought) that Adam was responsible for the introduction of sin—and its consequence, death—into the world; after him, all men have also sinned and fallen under the power of death, a fate cutting its universal swath throughout human history.

 The New York Review of Books: DECONSTRUCTION, THE NAZIS, & PAUL DE MAN
Assume too that Donoghue is correct in construing (evidently in keeping with de Man's own suggestions) the relationship between de Man's wartime deeds and his later literary theory as that between an "empirical self" and a "higher" self.
Finally, assume that Donoghue is correct in his characterization of de Man's version of Deconstruction as a theory intended to undermine all pretensions—including those evident in grand political ideologies — to unity, permanence, transcendent Beauty.
Thus de Man's theory does not permit us to utter the sentence "Nazism is evil" with any theoretical justification; when pressed, we could only say that, given the sensibility of one's empirical state at the moment the statement was uttered, it is felt that Nazism is evil (or good, as the case may be).

 PAUL WILLIAMS - SOMEDAY MAN
First of all, "Someday Man" marked the first major collaboration between Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, who were to team on a bundle of early-’70s hits for the Carpenters and Three Dog Night among others; then there are the musicians, who included such giants as Hal Blaine and Larry Knechtel among their ranks.
He found Paul to be “a character” and “a fun guy to be around”; the two hit it off instantly, and their collabo­ration commenced immediately.
Another track about which Paul has strong posi­tive feelings, one with a decidedly spiritual bent, is “Time.” A hymn-like exploration of the boundaries of mortality, “Time” is perfectly buoyed by Bob Thompson’s gorgeous arrangement, which is high­lighted by a lovely sitar part that seems to metaphor­ically represent the fragility of life.

 Post Structuralism by Roger Jones
In the study of language, the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) suggested that meaning was to be found within the structure of a whole language rather than in the analysis of individual words.
For the structuralist the individual is shaped by sociological, psychological and linguistic structures over which he/she has no control, but which could be uncovered by using their methods of investigation.
These oppositions are defined hierarchically: the second term is seen as a corruption of the first, the terms are not equal opposites.
