People who wish to avoid questioning and discussion present deconstruction as sort of gratuitous chess game with a combination of signs, closed up in language as in a cave. This misinterpretation is not just a simplification; it is symptomatic of certain political and institutional interests – interests which must be deconstructed in their turn. I totally refuse the label of nihilism which has been ascribed to me and my American colleagues. Deconstruction is not an enclosure in nothingness, but an openness towards the other.
