I do need to check into this Aurobindo fellow

One does respect Derrida for recognizing the utter potential for the disaster which logocentrism and a transcendental signified can bring to interpretation; and in so doing for remaining at the “margins”. Although Derrida’s work can be seen as providing a remedy to the totalizing narratives of metaphysics, in which the whole tyrannizes it’s parts, it can also be said that if metaphysics had not existed he would have had to invent it to be coherent. But Derrida gestures, hints, puns, and his way toward finding a heuristic for encountering the Other. The true Kabbalist he refrains from speaking the “One Word” which when spoken dissipates the phenomena, in a metaphysical abstraction.
