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 Jud: --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- name="Tudor Georgescu.vcf" filename="Tudor Georgescu.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Georgescu;Tudor FN:Tudor Georgescu ORG:Cultural Association "Thinker" - Intellect Club Netherlands TITLE:Magister ADR;WORK:;;De Kempenaerware 23;Zwolle;;8014 RD;Netherlands LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:De Kempenaerware 23=0D=0AZwolle 8014 RD=0D=0ANetherlands X-WAB-GENDER:2 URL:http://www.geocities.com/tudor_georgescu URL:http://members.home.nl/tgeorgescu ROLE:student BDAY:19730829 EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:tgeorgescu-AT-home.nl EMAIL;INTERNET:TGeorgescu-AT-hotmail.com REV:20010602T065346Z END:VCARD --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
