The purloined Hegel: semiology in the thought of Saussure and Derrida

Author:Burns, T

Article Title:The purloined Hegel: semiology in the thought of Saussure and Derrida

Abstract:
This paper explores the thought of Hegel, Saussure and Derrida regarding the nature of the linguistic sign. It argues that Derrida is right to maintain that Hegel is an influence on Saussure. However, Derrida misrepresents both Hegel and Saussure by interpreting them as falling within the Platonic rather than the Aristotelian philosophical tradition.
