Oposición y dicotomía: la deconstrucción y la hegemonía explicadas por las dualidades conceptuales de la filosofía

Abstract

Beginning from Derrida´s distinction between writing and speech, and their unequal relationship, the logocentric tradition is defined. This tradition establishes two series of concepts, analogous to each other, accompanied by a representative function, and these series are themselves structured as mutual oppositions, and based on those two core concepts of writing and speech. Logocentrism commands a particular choice within the oppositional structure, protecting some key concepts. Taking into account the new structuralist concepts on the necessary presence of a minimum of two heterogeneous series, as exposed by Gilles Deleuze, and also considering the explanation of the passage between particularity and universality, as shown in Laclau´s hegemony theory, we show that the old oppositional logic cannot be sustained, being replaced, at an ontological level, by “the condition of aporia”.
