Heterogeneous Timeism is one of the important theoretical categories of Derrida's deconstructionism. It is one of the conceptual connotations of defferences put forward by Derrida. It lays much emphasis on the dependently different conditions and the possibility of change and variation in time and space. It ultimately concerns itself with the skeptical attitude that deconstructionism harbors towards Metaphysic Ontology. Time exists not only objectively, but also spiritually. Spiritual interpretation of time results in a diversity of theories explaining the relationship between man and the world, as well as man and history. Conversely, it has an impact on man's historical creative activities. Therefore, meaning and time naturally become important aspects of Derrida's deconstructive philosophy. In addition, they are the most important theoretical grounds of Derrida's interpretation of Marxism. This paper focuses on Heterogeneous Timeism, aimed at the interpretation and the assessment of Marxism. In the meantime it serves as a feasible means to comprehend the obscure Specters of Marx.The author of this thesis holds the view that Heterogeneous timeism, one of the most important and the most fundamental presuppositions of deconstructive theory, is a critical ground of argument of Derrida's deconstructive theory. According to Derrida, time is perceived neither as an objective target, nor as a basis for the explanation of his ontology. On the contrary, time, in his eyes, is not used as an ultimate measure, but becomes a ground to prove this invalid measure, and thus it becomes a practical strategy to predict and to interrupt the language system of Metaphysics. Heterogeneous timeism runs through Derrida's traditional criticism towards the whole western philosophy. At the same time it runs through his deconstruction of Marxism. It involves such aspects as spectral existence of Marxist heritage, Marxist existence of space, critical commitment to the theory of...
