Quote of the Year

From "Différance," by Jacques Derrida

"And yet, are not the thought of the meaning or truth of Being, the determination of différance as the ontic-ontological difference, difference thought within the horizon of the question of Being, still intrametaphysical effects of différance?"

What's the difference?


P.S. Is différance a curse word?

Isn't it amazing that you can read one sentence of Derrida 25 times and still question whether or not you knew what he is saying? At least, that's my reality. I'll stick with Bloom for analytical reading, even if he is an egocentric crazy man.
