Thus we have moved from a reﬂection upon the order of Differences (with the analysis it presupposes and that ontology of continuity and that insistence upon a full, unbroken being deployed in its perfection that presuppose a metaphysics) to a thought of the Same, still to be conquered in its contradiction: which implies (apart from the ethics already mentioned) a dialectic and that form of ontology which, since it has no need of continuity and has to reﬂect upon being only in its limited forms or in its distance, can and must do without metaphysics.
