Scrittura, archiscrittura, pensiero
Ferraris, Maurizio

Abstract
Traditionally, from Aristotle to Hegel, has been considered as valuable the following
sequence: Thought → Word → Writing. In this essay I claim that the right order of the
sequence is utterly the opposite: (i) oral language does not come first, gesture does; (ii)
writing is independent from language both because gesture comes first and because writing,
differently from language, can record; finally (iii) the capacity of recording and of
communicating is typical of the soul seen as a tabula.
