Derrida’s indifference

Derrida’s indifference July 14, 2005

Pickstock again: For Derrida, there is ultimately no real difference, since all difference is univocally violent.

Derrida’s absolute difference collapses is really penultimate difference enveloped by an absolute indifference. Clever point, that.
