I found this one sentence particularly troubling and a perfect example of what it is that I am supposed to understand.
"We can expose only what, at a certain moment, can become present, manifest; what can be shown, presented as a present, a being-present in its truth, the truth of a present of the presence of a present." (Derrida)
Yup, that's seven (7!!!) times he uses the word 'present' and the vastly different 'presence' in one sentence! I won't even begin to quote the way he tries to describe the difference of the terms 'difference' and 'differance' by using only derivatives of the word 'difference'.
