There is one last, slim, avenue of hope for logos to regain a portion of its throne. Armed with such a hope, logos can press forward, no longer with its previous assertiveness, but at least with some confidence. The type of dialogue logos now hopes for, that between itself and Cleitophon, or itself and the poet, qualifies as philosophical, for there is fundamental disagreement. Logos recognizes the reason for its discomfiture at the hands of Cleitophon and Hesiod. It began with the belief that it could refute such opponents. Derrida acknowledges in Of Gramrnatology that an enormous gulf separates him from the traditional version of logos or significant discourse, which he calls "phono-centrism" or "logocentrism." Protreptic is the effort to encourage others to play the Socratic game, to enter the conversation, to accept the techne-analogy, to embrace logos. Protreptic, singing the praises of logos and the evils of relativism, turns its audience forward, upward, toward the project of being rational.
