Derrida argues that phonocentrism-logocentrism relates to centrism itself-the human desire to posit a 'central' presence at beginning and end.
He states that it is this hierarchized oppositions. The superior term in these oppositions belongs to presence and the logos, the inferior serves to define its status and mark, a fall. The oppositions between intelligible and sensible, soul and body seem to have lasted out 'the history of Westem philosophy', bequeathing their burden to modem linguistics with its opposition between meaning and word.
We say that deconstructive theory is the optimal literary critical method to read the works of James Joyce. We can meet the reality of the structualist and deconstruction concerned with our circumstances and lives through the work of Ulysses. They result in the human's joyfulness and sadness in one's life. It is that Derrida deconstructs the system and the hierarchy of human relations. Therefore, Joyce pursued the equality among religions, citizens, good and devil, strong and week factors of human through this literary works.
