My answer to this question, if it is a question, would be something like:
- Well, yes and... no.
I think Derrida has been quite explicit in dealing with paradoxes. He even has entitled one of his books "Aporias". I read it a few years ago, and I think that the subtitle is something like "being at the limts of truth". It is a most interesting book as far as I can remember.
In Derrida's famous talk in Cambridge with Alan Montefiore he states, and I quote "there is no political decision without going through an aporia". I think that this is truth and summarizes some of the trends which have characterised Derrida's thought from the very beginning.
I think it is a most interesting subject and that it deserves a special emphasys when dealing with Derrida's work in general.
My modest contribution would be to put it in a different way, in this incidental meeting between a professor of philosophy and his pupil:
- Sir, is it truth that in the center of any problematic there is a paradox?
- Well, yes and no.
I hope you like it and you find this anecdote interesting and insightful. Of course it is a non-simple, multidimensional answer (yes and no) - I think that a good synonim for "deconstruction" is being aware of the "multidimensional symbolic structure"
of structures.
Anyway, I leave it here.
