This thesis aims to read Derrida in a way to increase the speculative aspect of his thinking, in opposition with the dominant correlationist interpretation. The main keys for this reading are writing and différance. For this task, I trace a polygonal articulation between Derrida, Quentin Meillassoux, Sigmund Freud and Catherine Malabou, trying to reconstruct the philosopher's positions in an affirmative way as materialism. The effect of this polyhedron works by contrasts, reflecting (as an inverted mirror) on other philosophers with whom Derrida debated all his life (especially Kant, Hegel, Levinas, Husserl and Heidegger). The figure is constructed in three moments: comparative, structural and experimental. The comparison emerges with a genealogy of Derrida's thinking departing from the French materialism of XXth Century, aiming to demonstrate that his thinking has never been oriented by the Kantian gaps between thing-in-itself and phenomenon, nature and culture, empirical and transcendental. It emerges in a specific philosophical, scientific, political and cultural context that is only now being reconstituted. Next step is the structural argument: departing from the critique of totality (Book), the thinking of writing appears as a graphematics that exceeds the traditional space where writing was enclosed, considering it as the facilitation (frayage) of form in the real, a non-hylomorphic (plastic) theory of form. To this graphematics is added spectrology (hauntology), virtual science that thinks reality in the general economy of différance. From this general economy, restricted economies emerge: economimesis and economy of life_death. The graphems are inscribed in a surface without ground, empty and plastic, which Derrida nominates, remembering Plato, Khora. Finally, the third moment looks to relate experimentally Derrida's thinking with contemporary sciences (neuroscience and evolutionary biology), aiming to obliterate the boundaries between nature, culture and technology, on one side, and thinking and real, on the other. Writing and specters cross all these gaps in a generalized and hyper-historical materialism.
