The idea of deconstruction is to challenge the unconscious presuppositions inherited from conceptual frameworks for thinking. Deconstruction, it can be argued, facilitates the evaluation of the text and its language as ‘technologies’ for thinking. This paper hypothesizes that Derrida’s deconstruction, with its emphasis on revealing suppressed contradictions and paradoxes in texts, may help illuminate some of the difficulties of safety argumentation and might be a basis for new analysis techniques.
