📝 Contenu du Prompt
Provide a theoretical deconstruction of the concept of 'logocentrism' in Western metaphysics of language. Explain how Derrida argues that writing is not a derivative of speech, but a condition of possibility for speech itself. In your response, use the concept of 'différance' to illustrate how meaning is endlessly deferred rather than present in the text.
