Finally

So I attended this Blockseminar, where we were reading a philosophical book. I had to talk about the final chapter and noticed all the people before me struggling with the meaning of their alloted chapters, while all the time I kept thinking and saying that all would be explained in my final one. I think it was Jacques Derrida, who once quite openly admitted, that most philosophical books explain themselves from the final chapter backwards.

P.S.: It was assumed that all participants had read the entire book in advance...
