(p. 17)  Heidegger Being vs beings Being is that which allows all beings to exist Discusses the "present" in Heidegger's terms J= D. claims that there is a diffrance that lies beyond both epochality (temporal) of Being and ontological difference ! Q.  ?What how does this mean?  (p. 22) This is made possible by the "play of the trace" -- diffrtance older than ontological difference or truth of Being (p. 22) Q?? "The trace of what exceeds the truth Being." this trace can disappear/appear -- erases itself. Analogized with "a" erasing itself in "diffrance." (p. 23) Back to the distinction: DELTA = Being - presencing  vs . beings - the present. This difference has been forgotten, so the trace of difference has been forgotten. difference = trace of (). Therefore trace of trace has been erased. But since the Being has been collapsed to beings in the present, then what we have is that the pressent itself is the trace of the erasure. "the present becomes the sign of the sign, the trace of the trace" $N=Q  OKAY, but so what? What we have is a sequence of category shifts Being beings difference presence A favorite move -- play of catechresis.  D claims that H. "recognizes  usage  as  trace " See quote (p. 25)  presencing  of what is present -- usage delivers each being into the while... difference cannot be claimed under the notion of "as such" X , Y , ...  opposed to  &P=U DELTA X threatens the "as such" (p. 25)  Q. Well, yes, but there are more interesting ways to threaten the "as such" eg. pointset top -- vs euclidean geometry.  "This unnameable is the play which makes possible nominal effects, the relatively unitary and atomic structures that are called names, the chains of substitutions of names in which, for example, the nominal effect  diffrance  is itself  enmeshed  ... still part of the game." S=(p. 26-27) D challenges the idea of unique word. even unique word for Being. Criticizes the hope for original language that Heidegger still entertains. Places the question -- is there (why should there be) a unique word "the alliance of speech and Being in the uniqe word" is insribed in the simulated affirmation of  diffrance . bears on these parts of Heidegger's sentence: "Being / speaks / always and everywhere / throughout / language" wQATR   Diffrance  is neither word nor concept (p. 7) (see also TN notes in p. 8) Latin  differre : (1) to defer, temporizing (p. 13:  but has too primitive notion of time! ) (2) to differ, spatial (?) Also in Freud (1) spacing -- discernibility, distinction, separation (2) temporization -- detour, relay, reserve (p. 18) An apparently incompatible double sense: (1) restricted economy: of return to the same (2) a generalized economy -- irremedially other, as in death Why "economy" -- called Hegel a philosophical  speculator . Hegel"  Aufhebung -- lift up, with double sense of conservation and negation: Dialectics is a process of Aufhebuing: every concept is to be negated and lifted up to a higher sphere in which it is thereby conserved. aA|  Well math is a play of traces, of forms, exactly of this trype, BUT much more richer than merely " spacing and a temporization."  Critique of consciousness  diffrance is prior to consciousness Isn't consciousness prior to diffrance? D: no, because: consciosness --> self-consciousness --> consciousness beside consciousness --> "beside" --> diffrance (p. 16) A second example of priority of diffrance: Force itself is never present; it is only a play of differences and quantities.... There would be no force in general without the difference between forces" (p. 17)  BUT here D. confuses force with potential energy. >AHHH@  >BUHHH@  k B"H$H @   H$H @   }xBH$H @   H$H @   Derrida Diffrance mB H$H @   SXW xinwei@stanford.edu draft  /3 ebBH6H h@  Derrida Diffrance   Margins of Philosophy , p 3-27, 1982.
