Derrida on Plato on writing says \u201cIn order for these contrary values (good\/evil, true\/false, essence\/appearance, inside\/outside, etc.) to be in opposition, each of the terms must be simply EXTERNAL to the other, which means that one of these oppositions (the opposition between inside and outside) must already be accredited as the matrix of all possible opposition. And one of the elements of the system (or of the series) must also stand as the very possibility of systematicity or seriality in general.\u201d <\/p>\n
