Deconstructing Derrida: Below the Surface of Differance

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

There is perhaps a deeper difference of opinion about Derrida than about most contemporary philosophers. Consider, for instance, the following segment of Derridean text, which appears to be an answer of sorts to the question that many readers might want to ask, "To what does Derrida want to call attention by introducing the neologism differance"?
