But that constructive description is exactly what Derrida does, contra Wilber's source (French Philosophy in the 60s). The source I cited states unequivocally:<br /><br />"The anti-Nietzschean polemical attack on the poststructuralist critique of the subject is misplaced, for Derrida never 'liquidated' the subject but rather rehabilitated it, decentered it, and repositioned it, in all its historco-cultural complexity" (63).
