To construct Derrida's thought as a poetic system is a tough while meaningful task. Deeply absorbs in profound ethical view, Derrida animadvert Logocentrism as the core of western culture, discloses the localization of poetics which was influenced by the traditional language and thinking mode, find the coincidence between the free differance of languages and free imagination and put western culture, languages and poems together to research.In Chapter one, how Derrida turns spearhead to the central value and basic principles, the prophecy of binary oppositions in Logocentrism (speech is prior to Language,"presence"takes place of"absence", transcendent subject and object, and mirror-expression process ), and the process to establish his Grammatology are thoroughly analyzed. Derrida expand the written texts into all kinds of systematic binary oppositional"reasonable"social cultural structure and regular system in order to make a clear distinction between the use of signs and the existing things in reality and the boundary of truth value system. Hence he points out that the long-lasting differences which can not be overcome while providing the most powerful motivity for man's freely creative activity of ideality. And then the dissertation we analyzes the keywords in Derrida's"Grammatology"and their meaning.

Saussure linguistics has violated the basis of the literature concepts and criticizing concepts expressionism radically. Derrida find the connection among the language infinite evolvement, imagination of poems and the free inevitability of man. Deconstruction endows some power to"the character of poem"and endows itself with the temperament of"the character of poem".Chapter III probes into the review and conclusion made by Deconstruction about modern literature movement. The language crisis does not rest with the inability of the writer himself, but the language as a whole does"not provide power any more". Modern artistic writings prefer to deconstruct meaning by questioning the logos as the center, and change the emphases from the texture of signifier to the texture of signified.Chapter IV reviews Derrida's opinions to the essence of literature. He finds that the reason why"literature"is thought to be a kind of organizational system is that the question"what is...
