I agree. Derrida's deconstruction isn't bleak or nihilistic than any other 
transformative analysis, which is essentially what his project is trying to 
accomplish. The eternal return doesn't necessarily admit a moral or ethical 
conclusion, it doesn't address the reconstruction after the deconstruction 
any more than he addresses the importance of discourse analysis as a way of 
life.

Then again, I just might be talking out of my arse ;)
