ABSTRACT
Derrida cites Bataille in recognition of this same impossibility: 'These judgements should lead to silence yet I write. This is not paradoxical'29. Derrida is insistent that although the ultimate intention of deconstruction is to move beyond binary opposites, we should not be too hasty in this operation, since we are dealing here with a 'Violent hierarchy' which first needs to be overturned:
To overlook this phase of overturning is to forget the conflictual and subordinating structure of opposition. Therefore one might proceed too quickly to a neutralizofion that in practice would leave the previous opposition, thereby preventing any means of intervening in the field effectively.30
