In ‘Heidegger's Ear: Philopolemology (Geschlecht IV)’, in Reading Heidegger: Commemorations, ed. John Sallis, trans. John Leavey (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1992), Derrida writes of two words being separated by a hyphen, ‘as if to make the heard better heard in the unheard of what is not heard’ (p. 210). 16. Dickinson, p. 118 (no. 258). 17. Dickinson, p. 129 (no. 280). 18. Dickinson, p. 88 (no. 187). 19. See, for example, Jacques Derrida, Genèses, généalogies, genres et le génie: Les secrets de l'archive (Paris: Galilée, 2003), p. 67. 20. Derrida writes of ‘le tiret suspendant le mot Distanz’ in Nietzsche's text in Spurs: Nietzsche's Styles/Éperons: Les Styles de Nietzsche, trans. Barabara Harlow, intro. Stefano Agosti (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979), p. 48. 21. ‘The Double Session’, p. 183; ‘La double séance’, p. 225. 22. I have attempted to address Derrida's reading of the history of truth, of the historicity of ideal objectivity (Husserl) and the speculative history of philosophy (Hegel), in The Impossible Mourning of Jacques Derrida (London: Continuum, 2006), pp. 20–73. 23. ‘The Double Session’, p. 183; ‘La double séance’, p. 226. 24. ‘The Double Session’, p. 191; ‘La double séance’, p. 235. 25. ‘The Double Session’, p. 193; ‘La double séance’, p. 238. 26. Spurs /Éperons, pp. 86–7. My translation. 27. Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl's Origin of Geometry: An Introduction, trans. John P. Leavey, Jr. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1989), pp. 87–8. 28. An Introduction, pp. 88–90. 29. An Introduction, pp. 93–5. 30. An Introduction, pp. 123, 128. 31. Aristotle, On the Soul, in The Complete Works of Aristotle, ed. Jonathan Barnes, 2 vols. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1984), II: 409a. 32. Jacques Derrida, ‘Force and Signification’, in Writing and Difference, trans. Alan Bass. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989), p. 16. 33. ‘Force and Signification’, p. 19; ‘Force et signification,’ in L'écriture et la différence (Paris: Seuil, 2001), p. 33. 34. ‘Force and Signification’, pp. 15, 28; ‘Force et signification’, pp. 27, 47. 35. Of Grammatology, pp. lxxxix–xc; De la grammatologie, (Paris: Minuit, 2004) p. 8. 36. Of Grammatology, pp. 85–7, 72, 289–91. 37. Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, trans. John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson (Oxford: Blackwell, 1990), H420–21, H 428. See also note xxx, pp. 500–1. 38. Jacques Derrida, ‘Ousia and Grammē: Note on a note from Being and Time,’ in Margins of Philosophy, trans. Alan Bass (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990), pp. 57–8. 39. Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, p. 163 [A33–4; B49–50]; Kritik der Reinen Vernunft (Frankfurt am Main: Im Insel, 1964). All further references to the German text will be from this edition. Derrida cites this passage in ‘Ousia and Grammē’, p. 49 n. 28. In Of Grammatology, Derrida had already noted that Kant cannot avoid the line: ‘And from my present point of view, there is much to say on the concept of the line [ligne] which so intervenes in the Kantian critique. (Time, the form of all sensible phenomena, internal and external, seems to dominate space, the form of external sensible phenomena; but it is a time that one may always represent by a line and the “refutation of idealism” will reverse this order)’ (290; 410) On the reversal of this order, see Critique of Pure Reason, pp. 326–28 [B274–79] 40. Critique of Pure Reason, p. 258 [B154]. 41. Aristotle, Physics, in The Complete Works of Aristotle, ed. Jonathan Barnes, 2 vols. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1984), I: 223a, 222a. 42. ‘Ousia and Grammē’, p. 59. 43. In Derrida's French translation of Aristotle, ‘a pause is necessary’ becomes ‘l'arrêt est necessaire’, ‘Ousia et Grammè: note sur une note de Sein und Zeit’ in Marges – de la philosophie (Paris: Minuit, 2003), p. 68. Derrida's reading of Aristotle here can perhaps be seen as a first glimpse of his later reading of the totality that stops itself in Glas, trans. John P. Leavey Jr. and Richard Rand (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1990), pp. 106–7a. See also Derrida's reading of Blanchot's L'Arrêt de mort in ‘LIVING ON. Border lines,’ in Deconstruction and Criticism, trans. James Hulbert (New York: Continuum, 1979), pp. 75–176. 44. ‘Ousia and Grammē’, pp. 59–60. 45. ‘Ousia and Grammē’, pp. 65–7.

I develop this argument in my forthcoming book, Starting With Derrida. 49. Of Grammatology, pp. 74–5; De la grammatologie, p. 110. 50. Jacques Derrida, ‘Avertissement’, in La Vérité en peinture (Paris: Flammarion, 1978), p. 4; this is quoted on the back cover of the English translation, The Truth in Painting, trans. Geoff Bennington and Ian McLeod (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989). 51. Jacques Derrida, Memoirs of the Blind: The Self-Portrait and Other Ruins, trans. Pascale-Anne Brault and Michael Naas (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993), p. 3. 52. Jacques Derrida, The Problem of Genesis in Husserl's Philosophy, trans. Marian Hobson (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003), pp. xvii–xix; Edmund Husserl's Origin of Geometry: An Introduction, pp. 26, 51. See Paola Marrati, Genesis and Trace: Derrida Reading Husserl and Heidegger, trans. Simon Sparks (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2005). I have touched on this in The Impossible Mourning of Jacques Derrida, pp. 25–30. 53. Jacques Derrida, ‘Parergon’, in The Truth in Painting, trans. Geoff Bennington and Ian McLeod (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989), pp. 20–1 (trans. modified); ‘Parergon’, in La Vérité en peinture (Paris: Flammarion, 1978), p. 25. The last sentence of the quote ends without a full-stop, marking one of the gaps in the text, of the gap between the seminar and the published fragment. 54.

Geoff Bennington and Ian McLeod (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989), p. 4; ‘Passe-Partout’, in La Vérité en peinture (Paris: Flammarion, 1978), p. 8. 55.
