reading this guy helped me overcome my inferiority complex due to the fact that my ethnic group - Slavs - was the only ethnic group in Europe that didn't develop its own system of writing like the Germanic Futhark. God bless Derrida (PBUH)

augustine would say that all of creation is an incomplete sign made complete only in reference to god. if a sign doesn't direct u to the inner teacher (christ pbuh) then it has failed. this goes for speech, writing, animals, architecture, everything.
i wonder if any anons have read derrida's circumfessions and know whether or not he touches on this

Augustine is wrong. Read Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein blows out Augustine in like 2 pages

If creation is a sign from God and it fails to direct me to him, it would mean God has failed.

so experiencing yourself (as the subject) also renders you an external sign? and experience of god is impossible because again it would only be experiencing a sign of a thing?

in egyptian mythology the god of death is also the god of writing. something about how writing comes about from the need to record death and also to preserve the names of those who die.

there cannot be anything external, no apprehension of anything external to what apprehends.

you can only experience knowing thyself literally

So this derrida dude found about this in a book and mentioned it in his own book and everyone is amazed by his original sapience

it's his interpretation of phaedrus
say what you want about derridaddy but he's right at least in going back to its incomprehensibly based ending
and plato really does imply that writing is inseparable from death and the abyss :/

When you write something down you're giving into the sign and a world of appearance (sophism) - to do that is to reject the life you've been given.
If you're going to read/write at least realise that it's subordinate to personal experience.
