"...the text functions as a writing machine in which a certain number of typed and systematically enmeshed propositions (one has to be able to recognize and isolate them) represent the 'conscious intention' of the author as reader of his 'own' text, in the sense we speak today of a mechanical reader....Here the lesson of the finite reader called the philosophical author is but one piece, occasionally and incidentally interesting, of the machine."
(Jacques Derrida, Margins of Philosophy)
