I&#x27;m not a big fan of defining objects by their opposites. Derrida argues exactly this in Deconstruction, but it&#x27;s fairly useless in deriving <i>meaning</i>.<p>I believe Frege had it right by observing that there is a <i>sense</i> and <i>reference</i> to each and every word or concept. It&#x27;s not sufficient enough to derive meaning from referential labels; context always matters more.
