- think of it this way
- the problem of ground and of groundlessness raises the face of the absolutely infinite to the surface
- if you take refuge in a particular, self-identical ground, you confine reason to a theological structure
- the ground is because it is, and it is what it is in itself and has been forever
- the temporal structure at work here is a line that comes from the past to judge the present and then return to the past
- a creation ex nihilo
- but the infinite regress shows us that reason, according to itself, cannot have its ground in self-identity
- a particular ground will always be relative and unable to authorize itself
- by contrast, the absolute ground of reason is difference in-itself
- which is not a ground, but an immediately infinite movement
- an ungrounding
- each particular ground is given, but difference is that by which the given is given
- so let us agree with these sickly liberals that they have a right to their principle of difference, because this principle, truly stated, is the principle that rips their petty identities apart
