Fenomenologija pisma i gramatološko otvaranje (Prilog uvođenju u Derridino djelo)
PHENOMENOLOGY OF WRITING AND »GRAMMATOLOGICAL OPENING«

Summary/Abstract: In the attempt to elucidate the genesis of the influential and outstanding work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida, one should start from his texts treating Husserl's philosophy. Grammatology owes its very grounds of foundation to Husserl's thought. However, the occupation with phenomenology is not only one phase within the opus of this author, the one that precedes the so called »grammatological opening «. Namely, that which fatefully connects Derrida's writings with Husserl's work is taking over of Heideggerian task of Metaphysikkritik. By assumption of this ultime and in fact sole task assigned to the contemporary thought, Derrida dedicated himself with most consideration to Husserl's philosophy. Therefore, every attempt to strictly delimit Derrida's effort from its beginnings in the sense in wich it would imply, in spite of Heideggerian instructions, hope in simply un-metaphysic thought seems futile. Which means, as Waldenfels pointed out, that Derrida's thought by its essential historic-phylosophic determination as anti-phenomenology belongs to the effective history of phenomenology. Moreover, it could be considered as a new phenomenology, e. g. phenomenology of textuality, but only under the condition that phenomenology without its basic categories pertaining to metaphisic of presence is possible. This is indicated by Derrida's taking over of main achievements of phenomenology of writing which is revealed in the Introducton to Husserl's essay on the origin of oi geometry. The most destructive features of Husserl's critique are based precisely upon these achievements. These are the motifs, therefore, for undertaking of the lecture of Derrida's first text: to unveil the origins of grammatological thought.
