Key Claims
Jacques Derrida demonstrated that Western metaphysics relies on logocentrism—the illusory quest for an ultimate, stable presence. Through deconstructive reading, he revealed that all texts dismantle their own authoritative claims, as meaning is perpetually deferred and differentiated (différance) across infinite textual traces.
