Example text
For Levinas, language analysis and reading practices are irrevocably charged with, and influenced by, particular exegetical practices. A passage from his later work once again elicits how this influence plays itself out in his understanding of language: We wonder, in fact, if the idea of prefiguration, legitimate to the extent that it coincides with that of prophecy, does not alter, when it is raised into a system, the very essence of the spirit which Judaism installed. If every pure character in the Old Testament announces the Messiah, if every unworthy person is his torturer and every woman his Mother, does not the Book of Books lose all life with this obsessive theme and endless repetition of the same stereotyped gestures?
29) and therefore speaks of truth and of a ‘content of truths’. But what understanding of truth is implied here? Derrida argues that the ‘whole system of essential distinctions is a purely teleological structure’ (101) and that sense is defined in general in phenomenology ‘on the basis of truth as objectivity’ (99). Husserlian phenomenology is deconstructed, therefore, through its understanding of objectivity. Derrida assigns to phenomenological thought a relation to objectivity, however, that is never wholly relinquished even in his own writing.
Levinas 1990a: 120) Levinas questions the raising ‘into a system’ of such essential spiritual components as ‘prophecy’. For Levinas, the representation of prophecy, as recorded in the Old Testament, as Scripture, has come to take on the appearance of ‘prefiguration’, a notion that leads him to the critique of the notion of incarnational thought. Prefiguration is also central to Auerbach’s canonical reading of narrative in terms of mimesis. 46 The Incarnation of Language Presumably, it is this understanding of prefiguration that Levinas is wary of above.
