I am a bit perturbed and puzzled that you quote Derrida. His method of
semiotic analysis or, deconstruction is largely orthogonal to what I
see your project achieving. Synthesis of meaning and context is a
bulwark of FUEL. Deconstruction is largely a break down of meanings in
existing contexts and overturning the opposition while sharply etching
them. I don't see the "elemental opposition" that marks Derrida's
approach if posited on FUEL.
You are right...I should not try to choose the word 'analogy'...Sorry!
Actually by quoting here I just wanted to show the importance of how
much importance of 'text' lies in post modern philosophy. I never read
Derrida's books, just some articles and novels of post modern Hindi
writer...and I am not hesitant to accept that the more I try to
understand the term Derridean 'Deconstruction', the more I become
confused :-)
