Logocentrism is a term primarily associated with the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida and refers to a focus on words and language as the central means of understanding meaning and knowledge. The term combines "logo," which refers to reason or discourse, and "centrism," suggesting a central or dominant focus. In essence, logocentrism denotes a philosophical position that emphasizes the importance of language in conveying truth and meaning, often prioritizing written texts over oral communication.
