Arqueología de la reconstrucción (Una mirada foucaultiana al pensamiento de Derrida)

Abstract

Indeed, Derrida´s deconstruction works as a criticism of the archaeological motif in philosophy through its dismountling, desedimentation and solicitation or commotion of its foundations. But this three operations are (at the same time), though not completely determined by this “archaeological need”, undoubtedly in a “strategic” relationship with it –meaning at the same time “situated” and “calculated”. Therefore, following the guide lines outlined by Foucault in Les mots et les choses, our aim here is to describe the fundamental movement of the deconstruction –displacement– in relationship with those questions that the mentioned “archaeological need” brings forth in its completion: finity, the transcendental, thought and origin.
