Example text

If this is the case then how on earth is singularity to appear in language? If I do say that singularity can only appear on the basis of no presupposition do I not run the risk of rendering both singularity and myself mute? Perhaps I do, but what I want to ask is: How can I say something without presupposing that about which I speak? – How can I speak without presupposition? 24 MOVEMENT Indeed, the question hasn’t gone away. On this morning that will last for god knows how long I am finding that I cannot stop thinking of presupposition, yet I am also finding that I cannot stop thinking of – seeing – that which is only going towards and only is its taking-place and which, as such, constitutes an appearance and movement – an incessant movement – that isn’t an ‘effect of’ something (a cause, an essence) that remains beyond it.

She would have to suffer yet another beating. I’ll be killed for saying that! And so you stay silent and hush your wagging tongue. But is this silence in any way similar to the silence that is enforced as language is split apart and the taking-place of language becomes the opposite of the utterances of meaningful discourse? When the taking-place of language ‘goes to ground’ and becomes that which ‘has been’, a scission forces the taking-place of language to dwell separately from the domain of meaningful discourse.

The question returns and brings with it the imperative of saying – say on! And saying on what I will say is that now I cannot overlook and ignore presupposition. However, there still remains the issue of how, in speaking in my own name, I can say, myself and language can say, can say on this morning that will last for god knows how long, singularity. 19 20 Take 5 Movement How am I to say singularity? I can say the word, that is not hard to do; but how can I say it such that it is not a meaningless sound?
