The Supplement and Hors-texte

Explore Derrida on the supplement and there is nothing outside the text.

The supplement adds itself, it is a surplus, a plenitude enriching another plenitude, the fullest measure of presence. But the supplement supplements. It adds only to replace. It intervenes or insinuates itself *in-the-place-of*; if it fills, it is as if one fills a void. There is nothing outside the text [*il n'y a pas de hors-texte*].
