Subject: Re: eliminating transgression


I think it does remain tantamount to eliminating possibility, for
in D&R, in the section which you cited, Deleuze is delineating
the genesis of psychic systems of representation, systems which
use concepts like 'you' and 'I' and are thus boudn to the world
of the Other and the possible. Deleuze is sure to point utu tht
the world without Others is the world without identity, even
the identity of the 'I' as an Other. In his discussions of Kant,
Deleuze always brings up that the 'I' is an Other, but this is
to point out that within the world of representation and
identity relations are reciprocal. In the world of the perve,
however, relations have become unilateral, and the I and Other
no longer exist.

See pp 211-15 of D&R. There Deleuze clearly states theat
the virtual and the possible must not be confused.
"The only danger in all this is that the virtual could
be confused with the possible. ..." D&R, p. 211

Therefore, again, i think Deleuze is speaking of the Other
as the expression of a possible world (he begins the essay
i earlier quoted, "Michle Tournier and the World Without
Others," by discussing the Other as the expression of the
possible in psychic systems too) insofar as, within
language 'intent' on _representing_ 'persons' (as they
say in analytic philosophy),  we remain content to
designate bodies with the signs 'I', 'me', 'you', etc.
Beyond the humanistic impluse, however, the Other, the
possible, and 'persons' are eliminated by the 'once


and once only' nature of the third synthesis of time,
which is the tortous time of the eternal recurrence.
