Le plus plus (The More More)
Jacques Derrida

First delivered at the Yale Colloquium of Literary Becomings, 1981

Preface

To begin: the recognition that one more is always necessary. The beginning that takes its start from the other's limit, at the limit of the limit. This is what we read under the name of 'more'. To recognise that more is necessary, the more that always contains within itself the excess of its own request. The 'more' is always read as the 'more more'. A more that is the ruse of the 'enough', the more that says 'only one more' is the lie that is the death of language. Language begins always at the more that is more than a more, at the interminable beginning of the more more that labours in the interstices of every text.

How can we ask more of the more? Dicken's orphan, the child he disseminates that might live even more, the production that always requests the more of its reproduction. 'Please sir, I want some more.' There is always already here the 'twist' of the more, the demand—hesitant, faltering, inevitable—to the authority that limits the more more. For the statement begins in the shadow of its own poverty, but announces a plane already traversed by the excess of its own request. The limit that is no limit by virtue of the more, the more that becomes more more, one more that is always a one that is multiple.
