Marian Hobson, « Dans la caverne de Platon. Heidegger, Derrida », Littérature, ID : 10.3406/litt.1992.2601
Heidegger in Platons Lehre von der Wahrheit and Derrida through an essay on Mallarmé, La double séance, have pursued the unsaid in Plato's myth of the cave. But the unsaid takes different shapes in Plato, through its shape in Derrida or Heidegger. Heidegger pinpoints an unexplicit change in the notion of truth, an unsaid he does not say but remembers in its consequences for Western metaphysics ; Derrida develops irony without transcending it through a hidden meaning.
