The view of the tradition of Logoscentrism is that there was directly close relation between phone and soul, so Derrida called it phonecentrism also, namely presents metaphysics. This reflects philosophy of agent under traditional cognitive mode, namely binary opposition between subject and object.Investigating the views about cognition for relation between human and the world in modern philosophy, of Saussure, Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Levi Strauss, Floyd and so on, and seizing their exploration for the innate relation on "man-language-meaning", we can reach their theory of meaning and view of language. Derrida through dialogue with those texts not only pointed out that the agent of self-deconstruction in those philosophic texts but also gradually converged his own opinion of deconstruction. Derrida thought, speak and words were not suretyship of presence. His concept "differance" disclosed the split of inner time, and made binary opposite deconstruction. His theory not only deconstructed present metaphysicsbut also revealed one part of the real aims of metaphysics------binaryopposition of order and will to truth.Austin and Sal deeply extended the relation between language and phenomena; Gadamer's hermeneutics theory was faithful inheritance and creative development of Heidegger's views. The above content composed three indispensable aspects that were needed for comprehension: layer of intentionality, layer of grammar and semanticof language, layer of context. And ignoring any one------many peoplein this chapter crossed swords with Derrida------was one of conclusionsIVof intertextual procession among them. So that, the object being analyzed became texts. Texts were no longer traditional text (works), and weren't the fixed-point at which the author met his readers, but the place of expressive relation. Derrida wanted to extract the collusive power from "a kind of meaning construction" that came from the space between the author's intention and reads' intention, and then devoted to disclose non-rational agents in disorder in those texts and those would prove that they could confute every standpoints supposedly emerge in those texts. Those texts broke the traditional belief for literature and aesthetics made them closely connected between post-modernism literary movement and explanation and acceptance for "writable" texts. Hence, deconstruction was not being closed off in nihility, but open for otherity.Literature is prosopography. But prosopography is not always literature. The reason why we didn't differentiate art and philosophy is that the essence of art in some degree how to compose appointed by philosophy. Literature gets rid of the restriction from philosophy will obtain itself the historical localization in language. Literary languages obviously expressed Derrida's overturning effect. At last, on the base of previous summing up, we need to centralize to study changes about essence of man and cognitive fashion of man before and behind post-modernism.Draw a conclusion from above aspects, we could point the essence of culture: people constantly set out social constructing, explanting and accepting for meaning. Adding the determinative "post-modern" means that it will offer more possibility for cognitive methodology in new historical conditions.
