Difference & Same

"Differance appears almost by name in their texts,and in those places where everything is at stake.I cannot expand upon this here;I will only recall that for Nietzsche "the great principal activity is unconscious",and that consciousness is the effect of forces whose essence,byways,and modalities are not proper to it.Force itself is never present;it is only a play of differences and quantities.There would be no force in general without the difference between forces; and here the difference of quantity counts more than the content of the quantity,more than absolute size itself.'Quantity itself,therefore,is not separable from the difference of quantity.The difference of quantity is the essence of force,the relation of force to force.The dream of two equal forces,even if they are granted an opposition of meaning,is an approximate and crude dream,a statistical dream plunged
into by the leaving but dispelled by chemistry.'/G.Deleuze,"Nietzsche et la philosophie "/Is not all of Nietzsche's thought a critique of philosophy as an active indifference to difference,as the system of adiaphoristic reduction or repression?Which according to the same logic,according to logic itself,does not exclude that philosophy lives in and on difference,thereby blinding itself to the same,which is not the identical.The same,precisely is differance/with an 'a'/as the displaced and equivocal passage of one defferent thing to another,from one term of an opposition to the other.Thus one could reconsider all the pairs of opposites on which philosophy is constructed and on which our discours lives,not in order to see opposition erase itself but to see what indicates that each of the terms must appear as the defferance of the other,as the other different and deferred in the economy of the same..."J.Derrida"Margins of philosophy","Differance"/

In his famous lecture Derrida cited Nietzsche in the attempt to explain his favorite word /or concept/ - differAnce.My goal here is to emphasize the notion Other and that's because I decided to cite Derrida.A few sentences from Kant's First critique also shows,I hope,how that concept/Other/may be used in philosophical discourse.

'Now coexistence/simultaneity/ is the existence of the manifold in the same time.But time itself is not an object of perception;and therefore we cannot conclude from the fact that things are placed in the same time,the other fact,that the perception of these things can follow each other reciprocally.The synthesis of the imagination in apprehension would only present to us each of these perceptions as present in the subject when the other is not present,and contrariwise; but would not show that the objects are coexistent,that is to say,that,if the one exists,the other also exists in the same time,and that this is necessarily so,in order that the perception may be capable of following each other reciprocally./I.Kant,CPR,Book II,Analytic of Principles/
