Developed a strategy of deconstruction which seeks to expose, and then to subvert, the various binary oppositions that undergird man's dominant ways of thinking- presence/absence, speech/writing, etc. The deconstructive strategy aims to unmask too - sedimented ways of thinking, and it operates on them especially through two steps- reversing dichotomies and attempting to corrupt the dichotomies themselves. It also aims to show the undecidables, that is, something that cannot conform to either side of a dichotomy or opposition.
