Been pondering my words. Is logocentricism the unavoidable fact of how
thinking works, or is it the sin of denying how thinking works?

Is logocentricism synonomous with hierarchical binary oppositions?

Or, is it merely synonomous with binary thinking?

I realize my questions are hopelessly polluted with logocentricity.
