Jacques Derrida - Exam point of view

What is the term used by Derrida to refer to the numerous possible meanings that differ from the one? ~ Trace


Derrida' s Exam Points

☄️Associated with Deconstruction
☄️Deconstruction-multiple meanings of text.
☄️Part of the Yale School along with scholars including Paul de Man,  Geoffrey Hartman.
☄️According to him 'free play' is disruption of ''presence''
☄️His Binary Oppositions.(Man /Woman, Inside/Outside, Presence/Absence, Speech/Writing)
☄️Differance- quality of being different.
☄️He is precursor to describe the presence of multiple meanings in literary work.
☄️ His famous term- Aporia {deadlock)
He defines Aporia as "no man's land", where the inability to cross becomes the inability to create a formation, structure, project or marking boundaries in his book Aporias (1993)
☄️Aporia refers to unresolvable difficulties a text may open up.
☄️Derrida focused on four areas of paradox: gifts, hospitality, forgiving, and mourning. Aporia is a state of undecidabilty.
☄️Derrida gives example the inherent contradictions at work in Jean Jacques Rousseau's use of the world culture and nature.
☄️ His famous statement - "there is nothing outside the text"
☄️Derrida coined the term différance (meaning both a difference and an act of deferring} to characterize the way in which linguistic meaning is created rather than given.
☄️Derrida's work received some criticism from analytical philosophers. John Searle is one of his critics.
☄️The concept of "arche-writing" is developed by Derrida.
☄️Arche-writing refers to a kind of writing that precedes both speech and writing. He said that arche-writing is, in a sense, language, in that it is already there before we use it, it already has a pregiven.

☄️In "Of Grammatology'',{1967}  Derrida argues that no fixed, stable meaning is possible in  literature.
☄️The English translation of "Of Grammatology'' by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak was first published in 1976...(1967/1976)
And introduced by Judith Butler.
☄️In his Of Grammatology (1974), the French critic Jacques Derrida best asserts that a writing is directly related to what Saussure believed to be basic element of language difference.

☄️The concept of "Metaphysics of Presence' ..Derrida argues that metaphysics affects the whole of philosophy from Plato onwards.
☄️In his ""Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences" { lecture presented at Johns Hopkins University on 21 October 1966, lecture was then published in 1967 as chapter ten of Writing and Difference}  deconstructs the binaries(opposite) - bricoleur / engineer. He says that the engineer as the master designer of plans is only a theological idea. He cannot construct anything. He too works with what is available to him. ☄️In this sense, the engineer is also a bricoleur.
Note- Bricolage" used by the structural anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss to describe the nature of mythic thought in so-called 'primitive' societies.
☄️Bricolage is made by existing stories and other available scraps in a culture.

The term ''Chora''/''Khora'' {by Plato) was rediscovered by Julia Kristeva & Darrida.

THE SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW BY JBS HALDANE

 JBS Haldane was a prominent British biologist and geneticist who made significant contributions to the understanding of evolution and genetics. From his scientific point of view, Haldane believed in the importance of empirical evidence and experimentation in understanding the natural world. He emphasized the need for scientists to be open-minded and willing to revise their theories in light of new evidence. Haldane was a staunch defender of Darwinian evolution and believed that natural selection was the primary mechanism driving evolutionary change. He also recognized the importance of genetic variation and mutation in shaping the diversity of life on Earth. In addition to his work in evolution and genetics, Haldane was also interested in the intersection of science and society. He believed that science had the potential to improve people's lives but also recognized that it could be misused for harmful purposes. As a result, he advocated for responsible scientific research and eth

The birth of stars by Fred Hoyle

 Fred Hoyle's work on the birth of stars is a significant contribution to our understanding of the universe. In his book, he explains how stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust that collapse under their own gravity. This process generates heat and pressure, which eventually leads to nuclear fusion and the ignition of a star. Hoyle's theory challenged the prevailing view of star formation, which held that stars were created through a slow process of accretion. He argued that this model was unable to explain the observed properties of stars, such as their high temperatures and luminosity. Hoyle also discussed the different types of stars that can be formed based on their size and composition. For example, he explained how massive stars are able to fuse heavier elements and eventually explode in a supernova, while smaller stars like our sun will eventually burn out and become white dwarfs. One of the key insights from Hoyle's work is the importance of nuclear fusion in p
