It appears that in Hegel the world is haunting the ghost. But this is neither a haphazard, nor simply a clever reversal. For, in this particular case (which is the case), the word is haunting the meaning (sense, reference); the word remains to haunt its meanings, to haunt what it signifies. In this sense, language that is written and is read and is reread occurs in each of these separate places; not in place of, nor substituted for something else -- its true (truth) haunts. Which, curiously, ends up valorizing the literal material of language, by substantializing the "this," this "bit of paper."
