Originally posted by lucifershammerAccording to Derrida, "logocentrism" is the attitude that logos (the Greek term for speech, thought, law, or reason) is the central principle of language and philosophy.1 Logocentrism is the view that speech, and not writing, is central to language. Thus, "grammatology" (a term which Derrida uses to refer to the science of writing) can liberate our ideas of writing from being subordinated to our ideas of speech. Grammatology is a method of investigating the origin of language which enables our concepts of writing to become as comprehensive as our concepts of speech.
I'm not sure Derrida identified logocentrism in the ambit of classical metaphysics.

thought I was right, it was easier to go to the net than explain Derrida 🙂

or a forum for Christian propaganda, this forum is full of Christians stating the so called truth of their faith,stop it!
Also, you say Christians present so-called truth? Well, have you looked at it objectively, or do yur biases already determine your view before you have investigated sufficiently?
And this so-called truth you say....well what is it that should make me believe that you are the bearer of truth in order to call others untruthful and falsify their resolve?

1) "Do you seriously believe that spiritual debate of Chess Players will in some way come to an endgame?" - Maybe I'm just nit-picking but I see no need for "Chess Players" to be capitilized. To many, there will be no "endgame" but for the few that do in deed reach that stage is is worth it to me (besides I take joy in what my contentions and refutations).
2) "This is all about intellectual strategem." Obviously, it is not, otherwise this forum would be named "intellectual strategem" and not "sprituality". In order to discuss things logically, yes of course one's intellect must be used, but that is not what this certain forum "is all about".
3) "Geez read the post!" If you would have read the original thread yourself, then you would see the warrant of my rebuttal. If you already did, then you're missing the point. He asks a question directly at Christians, so it is my duty to defend.
4) "Endless, but certainly not mindless!" I truly don't know what you are referring to, other than the parallel I can draw with your "endgame" comment. So my response is that of course some of these arguments seem endless I guess, but never did I say they were mindless. I don't know where you came up with that, other than to prove the validity of these forums, despite no "endgame," there are important to discuss, which I never disputed.
5) "Chess players rule!" Yes, I'll admit. When I came on this website, it was for the sole purpose of playing chess. Then I discovered these forums, which sparked my initerest.
Here's word of advice, don't just talk about things you can't give reasoning or evidence for, because otherwise you present yourself as unintelligent. Likewise, I am not perfect, and I would be obliged if you would keep me accountable as well. I have things to learn too.
Hopefully, that cleared things up. And you understand the relevance of my post, because I see none in yours.

Most christians nit-pick!
I fail to see the relevance of anything you say: "saying" 😠

In order to discuss things logically, yes of course one's intellect must be used, but that is not what this certain forum "is all about". -Oh how naive! Chess players are masters of deception, purveyors of the ruse, clever in their schemes and are always willing to decieve their enemies

He asks a question directly at Christians, so it is my duty to defend. -I know your pulling my leg! Or are you pretending to defend what you cannot. If you are a christian; and I don't know if you are. God nor anyone else needs your defense-Is this another spiritual ruse?

-Is it just arrogance or do you believe that your comments are anymore relevant than anyone else who post here? Oh and by the way just because something dosen't make sense to you shouldn't mean to you that others lack intelligence. You could have a learning deficit. But for your edification;I will hold you accountable this way. Don't be so sensitive, you run the risk of making christians appear weak willed on this forum.
Hopefully, that cleared things up. And you understand the relevance of my post, because I see none in yours - ok! this just was not nice nor the christian way. Advise me? what a joke!
I don't want to be a christian now:'(😏
