This essay presents the “idea of God” as a metaphor of the line of resistance – as used in Umberto Eco’s writings. This metaphor is understood in the sense of pure negativity. The pure negative, the pure “not,” is very different from the God of revealed religion. The idea of God is not a proof of the existence of God, but only a device of elocution – in order to give an appropriate name to the thing. Such interpretation is possible thanks to imputing to this idea the law of contradiction.

The paper focuses on the methodological problem of interpretation in Jacques Derridaʼs work. In order to build up a new philosophical strategy against the violence of western metaphysics and its indications of full presence or full absence of textʼs meaning, Derrida opens the text to semantic inconsistence. From the point of view of deconstruction, every text reaches other texts by means of its suplements: the text becomes workable, telescopic and spongy. All its meanings are contained in the context, which is unlimited; intertextual meanings are drifting in it. Nevertheless, if Derrida rejects metaphysical certitudes of the meaningʼs presence, why does he criticize certain interpretation of text as “wrong”? What exactly is Derrida doing when he reads a text “critically” and “precisely”? In order to answer these questions, the paper shows the differences between interpretation and dissemination from the point of view of their problematic relation to the text's meaning. By comparing Derrida’s and Eco’s pragmatically ways of reading, the paper focuses on their opposing stands questioning at the same time the conceptual limits of the specific drift of meaning in de-construction.
