BANQUO		That, trusted home,
Might yet enkindle you unto the crown,
Besides the thane of Cawdor. But 'tis strange,
And otfentimes to win us to our harm
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles to betray's
In deepest consequence.
(To Ross and Angus) Cousins, a word, I pray you.

"Please would anyone tell me a classic reference to "a word
that is used a lot but defined little, or so it seem to me, perhaps because
I am guilty of just that.

Derrida's deconstructions of Western thinkers from Plato to Heidegger attack
what he calls "logocentrism," the human habit of assigning truth to
logos--to spoken language, the voice of reason, the word of God. Derrida
finds that logocentrism generates and depends upon a framework of two-term
oppositions that are basic to Western thinking, such as being/nonbeing,
thing/word, essence/appearance, presence/absence, reality/image, truth/lie,
male/female. In the logocentric epistemological system the first term of
each pair is the stronger (truth/lie, male/female). Derrida is critical of
these hierarchical polarities, and seeks to take language apart by reversing
their order and displacing, and thus transforming, each of the
terms--perhaps by putting them in slightly different positions within a word
group, or by pursuing their etymology to extreme lengths, or by substituting
words in other languages that look and sound alike
