Ubiquity of Interpretation

"Thus [Derrida] is not a linguistic idealist who denies the material existence of cups and tables; rather, in the line of Martin Heidegger (of Being and Time), he is what we might call--for lack of a better term--a comprehensive hermeneuticist who asserts the ubiquity of interpretation: all our experience is always already an interpretation" (James K.A. Smith, Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?, 39).
