(1986) Derrida on the threshold of sense, Dordrecht, Springer.
The relation to the present, unfolding its order in the very essence of presencing is unique. It is pre-eminently incomparable to any other relation; it belongs to the uniqueness of being itself. Thus, in order to name what is deployed in being, language will have to find a single word, the unique word. There we see how hazardous is every thinking word (denkende Wort) that addresses itself to being. What is hazarded here, however, is not something impossible; for being speaks through every language, everywhere and always.1
