A system of relations, only of relations does not differ from a system of things, only of things, since in the former in the need for relations of relations the relations become things and, in the latter, nothing can follow unless the things act on each other, in which case what matters is how they do so which is just the same as their relations. The essential point is the grounding of a system, which how and why what is at stake is included, becomes at stake. The question only arises because there is always already a ground which necessarily cannot be a product of any system but its motive, and this can neither be thing nor relation. The only purpose of any system of meaning is to point outside of all meaning, and the difference is in how thoroughly and forcefully it does so.
