 For me, the accent in Lyotard is very much on the side of
 ethics rather than politics. But, in a way, I'm copping out here,
 relying on the sedimented etymologies of these terms. Politics needs to
 be rethought AS ethics. The differend is that ethics cannot be
grounded,
 prescriptives cannot be determined from descriptives. This makes
 Lyotard's prescriptive statements about justice and paganism and the
'need' to find new idioms for differends occupy a kind of floating
 space, an unmoored and radically contingent space of
 non-determinability.
 
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Seems  to me the above paragraph is worth de-constructing,
reconstructing by players of the this game.

And. picking up another of Colin's thoughts:  "Perhaps this would be one
way of recasting intentionality without recourse to the subjective
will."
