About this Quote

Jacques Derrida's quote speaks with the complexity of viewpoint. He is suggesting that philosophy is not a linear procedure, however rather a complicated web of concepts and principles that have been built up in time. He is describing the concept of a "reserve" of knowledge, which is the cumulative understanding of philosophical ideas that have been given through generations. He is also suggesting that this reserve is shared by many individuals, and that each person has an obligation to contribute to it. This indicates that viewpoint is a cumulative effort, which each person has a role to play in its advancement. Derrida's quote highlights the value of comprehending the intricacy of viewpoint and the need to acknowledge the cumulative effort that goes into its advancement.
