Here'...Gregory Desilet joined in the discussion. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say in part 1:<br /><br />"For Derrida, every dualism to which one could point is both/and (and, if you prefer, neither/nor).... Every dualism implies essential difference (i.e., one cannot be reduced to the other) and essential relation (i.e., one does not occur without the other). This paradox maintains a simultaneity of difference and identity all the way to the core of oppositions such that it cannot rightly be said that either duality or nonduality best describes the situation. That being the case appeals to identity or oneness or wholeness are misleading in attempts to describe cosmological or metaphysical ultimate reality. Granting as much, care must be taken when talking about or making reference to the big picture."Edward Bergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864657929019204993noreply@blogger.com
