If the Three Stooges had replaced Joe DeRita with the post-modernist scribe Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), do you think that, as a trio, they would have re-examined the fundamentals of writing and its consequences on philosophy in general; sought to undermine the language of 'presence' or metaphysics in an analytical technique which (beginning as a point of departure from Heidegger's notion of Destruktion) came to be known as Deconstruction; and utilized (like Heidegger) references to Greek philosophical notions associated with the Skeptics and the Presocratics (such as Epoché and Aporia) to articulate the notion of implicit circularity between premises and conclusions, but (in a manner analogous in certain respects to Gilles Deleuze) presented a radical re-reading of canonical philosophical figures such as Plato, Aristotle and Descartes as themselves being informed by such 'destabilizing' notions?

Or would they have just stuck with bonkin' each other onna head?
