ABSTRACT

Spacing and therefore relation are not to be taken as additions given after the event. It is rather that they play a particular role, one which can never be reduced to anything that could be described as taking place in addition and therefore only present as a supplement without necessity Spacing-relation’s mark, the presence of its constituting hold-may be taken as, in part, constitutive of identity (remembering the inherent complex, the complexity beyond the plurality simples, which is itself the construct of identity; identity’s construction). The anoriginal is present as itself where that itself marks out an irreducible plurality (Again the ‘itself’ marks the anoriginally complex; a set up repeating the open determination of the name within conflict naming.) The difficulty is thinking that construal of irreducibility which no longer figures within either diversity or variety. If irreducibility can be said to involve the undecidable or the indeterminate, then what is essential is that these qualities rather than being simply posited come to be described; where the description involves recourse to the transcendental act of constitution. Ontology has to figure-though more emphatically will always already be figuring-as part of this act. Ontology is not therefore a simple ground since its presence has consequences. It is effectively present.
