The darkness of identity and difference


'From one end of experience to the other, finitude answers itself; it is the identity and the difference of the positivities, and of their foundation, within the figure of the same.’ What could be more Schellingian?

'Man has not been able to describe himself as a configuration of the episteme without thought at the same time discovering both in itself and outside itself, at its borders yet also in its very warp and woof, an element of darkness, an apparently inert density in which is it is embedded, an unthought which it contains entirely, yet in which it is also caught.’

Both quotes from Foucault
