隐喻与形而上学

Metaphor and Metaphysics

隐喻与形而上学在结构上是一致的。德里达认为,形而上学的历史是一些隐喻及换喻的历史,隐喻是能指的游戏,没有先于隐喻的原义,因此也没有一个给与意义的他者存在。他由此去解构形而上学,也因此给与了我们一条理解形而上学的途径。应该说,德里达对隐喻的形而上学结构的描述与对形而上学的隐喻结构的解构是成功的。

Metaphor and metaphysics are the same. Derrida explains that the history of metaphysics is the history of some metaphors and their changes. Derrida considers that metaphor is the game of signifier and the primary meaning does not go before metaphor. He deconstructs metaphysics and also points out a way for us to understand metaphysics. Derrida is sussessful in describing the stucture of metaphysics of metaphor and in constructing metaphor srtucture of metaphphysics.
