I was just thinking about Derrida’s Theory of Writing and his fascination with a philosophers’ hands, instead of the usual focus on sight from the eyes.
The expression, “Everybody has a book inside of them” springs to mind.
Derrida seems to be more concerned with what goes out of ourselves, rather than what is inside.
I find his expression ‘There is nothing outside of the text’ baffling, and Deconstruction is supposed to be finding Unconscious meaning within ‘texts’, or the ‘traces’, which are like dug out paths in consciousness. Is he explaining human experience as a kind of ‘text’?
