But Aristotle was sometimes a Derrida.

I know this is silly and I should resist but I can't. My favorite Derridaesque quote from Aristotle is:

"The walking thing walks, and is something else besides, whereas substance, indicating a this somewhat, is not."

When I was young, we had this printed up on one of the official school t-shirts. There are a lot of sentences in Aristotle that require a little work.
