"on this space - the reference - from sign to sign." This statement IMHO is semantically or meaningless or relies un explained allusions. As the topic is famously obscure, surely we can do better? David Tribe 14:49, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I've clarified that line some. I wish I had more time to write. I really just wanted to get an article for Derrida started. The concept of Differánce is intense, to say the least. With out Writing and Difference in front of me when I wrote these very very brief paragraphs, I am hesitant to put words into Derrida's mouth. - John Dayton

It might be easier to write about Derrida without actually consulting him.  ;-) Seriously, you're going to have to be a hell of a lot clearer than Derrida is if you want to make a readable encyclopedia article about him. --Larry Sanger 13:00, 15 February 2007 (CST)

I've done what I can for today. There are people that get paid to understand Derrida and could do this more justice. But, I figure something is better than nothing for now. Please post any other comments and I'll do what I can. I am making it a point not to copy from wikipedia. --John Dayton 13:33, 15 February 2007 (CST)
