Deleuze claims that “unless difference is subordinated to the identical, difference would not extend or ‘would not have to extend’ as far as opposition and contradiction.”
Does Deleuze ever actually give an argument to show that the development of difference into opposition and contradiction rests on the subordination of difference to identity? If so, where can I find this argument? (Likewise for the claim that negation rests on identity).
Or if this is just an unsourced claim, have any Deleuze scholars offered arguments for this position?
Thanks!
