I rather liked his characterization of Derrida's work as *all is text*, and
that the best we can do from the privileged perspective of logos is to
compare descriptions.
[1] "As analytic philosophers might prefer to put it, thought and language
are capable of determining things only up to isomorphism".
[2] "If that's right, there's no principled difference between describing
reality and describing a system of signs, a text, language itself".
Through the lens of Lawvere's fixed point theorem, I am compelled to think
of Derrida's idea as Godel incompleteness for logos itself:
