JACQUES DERRIDA ET LA POSSIBILITE DE LA PHILOSOPHIE. VERS UNE METAPHORE DANS LE TEXTE PHILOSOPHIQUE
JACQUES DERRIDA AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PHILOSOPHY. TOWARDS A METAPHOR IN THE PHILOSOPHICAL TEXT

Summary/Abstract: Traditional philosophy draws its foundation from logocentrism. It is therefore intended to be theoretical and is thought of as universal and absolute truth. This approach is deconstructed by Derrida. The latter postulates for a philosophy to come. From then on, deconstruction is seen as an attempt to subvert Western heritage or an effort to problematize, to question metaphysics and reason itself. It is from here that the metaphor displaces the oppositions in which classical philosophy was forged. The metaphor is what comes to destabilize the meaning that philosophy has of its enunciation. Therefore, the metaphor as withdrawal makes the statement say something other than its original meaning. With its intrusion into the philosophical text, the question of truth becomes improbable. As withdrawal, it has no other role than that of manifesting the diversity of meaning. Being is therefore a multiple saying, which cannot be control by any proper or original literality. It proliferates in the plural game which does not reduce the syntax, but rather organizes the gaps. Therefore, metaphor introduces into textuality a dissemination and undecidability of meaning.
