God--the Thief

"God is thus the proper name of that which deprives us of our own nature, of our own birth; consequently he will always have spoken before us, on the sly.  He is the difference which insinuates itself between myself and myself as my death."    Derrida   "La parole soufflée"

Of Judaism and reawakening Greeks

But if one calls this experience of the infinitely other Judaism (which is only a hypothesis for us), one must reflect upon the necessity in which this experience finds itself, the injunction by which it is ordered to occur as logos, and to reawaken the Greek in the autistic syntax of his own dream.
