Despite Derrida’s certainty that it does, I suspect the debate is only beginning (cf. Scheibler 1993, Hodge 1994). Enough to say that Heidegger’s level of abstraction lends itself to conclusions that go either way. My practical difference from him lies in the rejection of an overarching abstraction in the concept of Being, an abstraction which means that the conclusions which follow from it might lead anywhere (cf. Lacoue-Labarthe 1987). However, I have not dwelt on the differences between the following argument and Heidegger’s.
I asked. ‘I am not sure,’ replied my colleague. 1 Moreover, the idealized woman is the anchor of man’s identity and the guarantee of his ‘Truth’, the point from which and for which he can reason. This means that the ‘psychical fantasy of woman’ is with us for all time, or at least, with us for as long as we are sane. 2 But we will begin with women. Some Lacanian analysts are opposed to feminism because they feel feminist demands imperil the psychical fantasy of woman. Alice Jardine, in an accurate satire of their position, writes that according to these Lacanians ‘humanity must avoid the inevitable trauma of doing away with woman as Man’s symptom—if we are to avoid bringing the social order, the order of language, crashing down’ (Jardine 1985, p.
This approach also enables us to consider questions to do with environmental economics, scale and strategy. It does this because a valuetheory without the subject-object distinction makes questions of space integral to the production of surplus-value, and shows that there can be no profit without large-scale spatial expansion. It also shows that the ideal polity for capital is a state which facilitates spatial expansion while it abolishes the restrictions imposed by natural time. In the light of this agreement, the traditional Marxist analysis, which endorses economic centralization, cannot hold.
