Abstract

Faced with a philosophical tradition that has determined stable places for the production of the meaning and in the realisation of its conceptual violences, I seek, with this work, to grope a thought of deconstruction in an experience of the trace from the Franco-Algerian philosopher Jacques Derrida. In the instability of this path, I investigate some of its obstacles that are, here, symptoms of a metaphysics of presence. In its first folding, this work is covered by an experience of aporia, on the limits between law and justice, which makes this experience crossed by an irreducible alterity, namely the undecidability that produces justice as the impossible. The mark of this alterity retraces a path where ontology is taken to the limit of its fragility when, amongst other traces, all unveiling is hidden by differing. And the veil that it endeavours to remove in search of truth, determination, clarity and distinction, further obscures meaning and its origin. With the prosthesis of some quasi-concepts, under the optic of undecidability, in the second inflection, I investigate the deconstruction of language in order to tear the passage that Western metaphysics established first as natural, original or true, second as neutral, linear and universal. By exposing the enclosure of a phonologocentric delimitation of language, a trace of experience produces, beyond the paradigm of presence and absence, in the distance, in the cut, in the gap between appearance and concealment, being and not being, signifier and signified, the liberation of writing as a movement of the production of differences amongst traces. Finally, with some trace of différance, it remains to produce the erasure of the trace as the adequacy, since inadequate, of some trace of meaning or signification that no longer exists in itself or for itself.
