Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the difference between Hegel’s and Deleuze’s notions of ‘the difference’. Hegel’s heterogenous and non-identical difference dissipates in a speculative movement of thought and becomes a moment in a whole that is identical with itself. Deleuze, on contrary, tries to pull the difference out from a dialectical embrace of the notion and to affirm it as a transcendental quantity, or as a condition of possibility of empirical differentiations. There¬fore, he forwards transcendental empiricism in opposition to the Hegelian identity of difference. There is a sharp contrast between these two conceptions of the difference, but they both, in their specific manner, possess strong practical/political charge and both can be used as explanatory models for understanding today’s condition in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, as well as in the much wider context.
