*Harold Bloom: Bloom was the Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University and Berg Professor of English and American Literature at New York University. In 1979, Bloom contributed to the influential ''Deconstruction and Criticism'', a foundational text for the Yale School of deconstruction. Later, in a 1983 interview with Robert Moynihan, Bloom said, "What I think I have in common with the school of deconstruction is the mode of negative thinking or negative awareness, in the technical, philosophical sense of the negative, but which comes to me through negative theology... There is no escape, there is simply the given, and there is nothing that we can do." In accordance, Slavoj Žižek has identified the mid-to-late 1980s as the period when Derrida's deconstruction shifted from a radical negative theology to a Kantian idealism. In 1989, Bloom eschewed any identification with the Yale School's technical, methodological approach to literary criticism.Harold Bloom Interview

In a 2003 interview, Bloom recalled that in his past he found himself "fighting" deconstructionists. In the same interview, he stated that the deconstructionists were his friends and that what interests him in language is the Absolute, a notion he shares with Yale School deconstructionists and the negative theology of kabbalists.Ranting Against Cant

His ''Derrida on the Mend'' (Purdue University Press, 1984; 1986; rpt. 2000-) pioneered the intersection of Derridean argumentation and the deconstructive mode of Madhyamaka Buddhism (and of Nagarjuna in particular), and was highly praised by Raimundo Panikkar, Paul Ricoeur, and the well-known Buddhologist Frederick Streng. Magliola's ''On Deconstructing Life-Worlds: Buddhism, Christianity, Culture''(1997; 2000-) has been robustly endorsed by Joseph S. O'Leary, Edith Wyschogrod, and John D. Caputo. Its first part is an exercise in Derridean "oto-biography," and its last part adapts some Derridean thought-motifs to Catholicism's theology of the Trinity. Magliola's oeuvre, including his books, book-chapters, and articles, is treated in Jin Y. Park, ed., ''Buddhisms and Deconstructions'' (2006), which collects the papers from the "Close Encounter" session on Magliola's work, 23rd Annual Meeting of the International Association for Philosophy and Literature (1999) and adds, as well, papers by David Loy and Roger R. Jackson. Magliola's ''Facing Up to Real Doctrinal Difference: How Some Thought-Motifs from Derrida Can Nourish the Catholic-Buddhist Encounter'' (2014) adapts Derridean maneuvers to serve the Buddhist-Catholic Dialogue in which he has been active for many years.
