    logocentrism or the metaphysics of presence is motivated by the desire for a centre that is stable and permanent and that faultlessly governs the structure. Derrida calls such a centre, the “transcendental signified” because it is a signified that transcends all signifiers, and is a meaning that transcends all signs. Various examples of such logocentrism or hitherto transcendental signifiers can be found in Plato’s notion of “eidos” or “form“, Hegel’s concept of the “absolute idea” or Kant’s categories of the understanding.
