The movement of that great thought which began with the Greeks and culminated in Hegel was the idea of metaphysics, the science of Being qua Being.

Then Derrida argues that logocentrism is a widely held belied in the West, and this somehow reveals the Western belief in "metaphysics of presence", the idea that presence of being is somehow more important, "privileged" over absence or difference.

According to Derrida, “logocentrism” is the attitude that logos (the Greek term for speech, thought, law, or reason) is the central principle of language and philosophy. 1. But Derrida does not do this directly, and given that he "would like to raise the question," it seems a bit perplexing that in an earlier footnote he can write: According to Derrida, “logocentrism” is the attitude that logos (the Greek term for speech, thought, law, or reason) is the central principle of language and philosophy.

92 in a particular way.8 For Husserl and the tradition, Derrida argues, the sense of being has always been interpreted as presence, and this interpretation assumes two forms: something is insofar as it presents itself or is capable of presenting itself to a subject – as the present object (ob-jectum) of a sensible intuition, or as an objectivity presented to thought. The spoken word is given a higher value because the speaker and listener are both present to the utterance simultaneously. %����
