Extract

In every search for knowledge one presupposes that there is more to the phenomenal field one studies than what meets the eye. A play between those phenomena that present themselves to an observer and absent entities or phenomena, and the orders, structures or laws that govern these, lies at the heart of any search for empirical knowledge. On the basis of this play of presence and absence read by a particular discourse into (or out of) a more or less defined phenomenal field, phenomena are constituted qua signs for that discourse's participants.
