_To auto_ is in Heidegger's "Der Satz der Identitaet"  
"das Identische" (identical), "das Selbe" (the same).
For instance, a plant is a plant. The formula "A=A", 
however, refers to "Gleichheit" (equality?)(cf. SdI, 
p 10).

See Derrida's the _Margins of philosophy (?)_ for the
difference between him and Heidegger. He refers 
specifically to Heidegger's "Der Spruch des 
Anaximander" (cf. GA05).

Kindest regards,
Henk
