Chalk one up for the dead French philosopher.
Three years after professional thinker Jacques Derrida reneged on a promise to donate his scholarly papers to UC Irvine, school officials have dropped their lawsuit against his estate.
As part of a deal announced Monday, UCI also agreed to pay Derrida's widow $16,000 for her legal fees.
Under the pact, the university will keep the Derrida archives it already has, which cover a period from 1946 to 1998, but give up any claim to the rest.more
