Abstract

As Derrida points out, Husserl needs the logical purity of meaning to constitute phenomenology, and he assures this by differentiating expressive and indicative signs. The realm of Platonic senses is confirmed by adopting expressive signs, wherein language expresses phenomenological ideal truths. But by refusing Husserl’s arguments and showing paradoxical faces of Husserl’s program, Derrida declares the impossibility of phenomenological project. Here we want to evaluate Derrida's analyses.
