'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

A question « Previous | |Next »

If the being of simulacra is the being of difference itself; and the each simulacra is its own model then what provides the unity of the different? How can we talk about the being of something that is difference itself?

Deleuze's answer is that precisely there is no intrinsic ontological unity. He takes up here Nietzsche's idea that being is becoming: there is an internal self-differing within the different itself, the different differs from itself in each case. Everything that exists only becomes and never is.

Gary, this is the third of The Three Great Priniples Of All Truth by my favourite "philosopher.

The psycho-physical Principle of Non-Separatenes.

The Individual pyscho-physical enitity is INHERENTLY Non-separate from the world-Unity (or the Inherently Unified cosmic Totality, Which is Whole and Universal) and, also, INHERENTLY Non-separate from the Inherently Indivisible Divine Reality (or the One and Conscious Light That IS the One and Only Self-Condition of all-and-All.

The selective use of capital letters and emphasis are part of the original statement by the author.
