Abstract
Despite of misunderstanding, deconstruction as a kind of way of thinking has inserted profound influence in the late 20th century. Derrida's undermining of the dualistic way of thinking may not be taken as an irrational destruction, but as a rigorously logical analysis. The heterogeneous way of thinking contains two important perspectives of time and otherness. Derrida's cross-disciplinary writing implicates a post-modern thought of dedifferentiation, which further complicates the boundaries between arts. However, the main limitation of Derrida's mode of thinking lies in its reductionist way of thought, in which language is reduced to super subject and the author's authority is re-enchanted. The reflective use of language leads to the self-deconstruction of Derrida's writing, which entails a double logic, while the pre-logic underlying the double logic has all the time been concealed.
