"Precisely because Derrida perceived the inability of a closed structuralism to admit genuine novelty, he developed a theory of language that would allow him to move beyond intrinsic socio-linguistic limitations. His philosophy of the creative word breaking through the given, whereby the signifier transcends the signified, appears, paradoxically, to reopen the way to religious transcendence."
