The problem is, according to Derrida's writings, if he ever did say "metaphysical", it's impossible for anyone else to know what he meant by saying it. Great theory.
That's precisely my point. No one says it at all anymore. And just for the record, I don't agree with Derrida at all on anything. Just using him as an example of why "metaphysical" is out of style.
