The 'chicken and egg' problem - which came first? How to respond? Before we get stuck in the either/or debate, we can think of it in broader terms. The difficulty represented by the 'chicken and egg' question is that we don't know where to begin. Why? Referring to language and the related problem of which came first, system of rules or speech, Derrida suggested that we struggle with knowing where to begin because we began by splitting things up in this sharp way. Introducing Derrida's thought, Simon Glendinning writes: "If we are to overcome the 'chicken and egg' oscillation, what is needed, therefore, is a way of 'thinking at once both the rule and the event'."
