Summary/Abstract: Writing is a central concept in the thought of Derrida. It could be comprehended as institution of traces. The trace is being defined in a dual sense movement of differentiating and, simultaneously, of deferment, designated with différance. In such a sense the traces are disseminated (disséminées), dispersed. In order to reveal the authentic structure of the writing as archi-writing it is necessary to go beyond the phonocentrism, which submits writing to speech, and beyond ethnocentrism, eurocentrism, ontotheology, philosophy of presence. This going beyond ought to occur in the development of deconstruction. Thus follows the question: aren’t there similar attempts that were made before Derrida? How the deconstruction differs from Heidegger’s destruction of the history of ontology? Don’t one and the same courses of thought reproduce in this way? And, respectively, one more question. Archè of archiwriting means the initial, authenticity, foundation. In such a case is it possible that the initial, the authenticity and generally all which the ontological thought, although a subject of deconstruction, has comprehended as primary grounds (archè), to be characterized by the meanings of dissemination, dispersion, deferment, differentiating, by this dis- which is always meaningly marked by decay or decomposition?
