But we are getting ahead of ourselves. To understand deconstruction, we need to know what deconstruction is not. Derrida is no nihilist. Justice has always been the ethical drive behind deconstruction. It is what deconstruction affirms.
Deconstruction is justice.
If everything were deconstructible, there would be no point to deconstruction. To make space for justice, which can be defined for deconstructionists as hospitality to the other. But there is an important distinction to be made here. Justice is not law. Law, for Derrida, is an instantiation, construction, or determination of justice.
