He speaks as do others of the way in which each sense has its own rationality, parts of that rationality overlap with other senses while other parts are unique. 44Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception, 187-199. 45Heidegger, Poetry, Language and Thought, describes the past, present, and future as having their own ecstasy. 46Henry Giroux, Living Dangerously: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Difference (New York: Lang, 1993). Derrida speaks of this as a movement of difference. This movement of difference is not something that happens to a transcendental subject; it produces a subject. It produces sameness as self-relation within self-difference; it produces sameness as the non-identical. Merleau-Ponty calls this shifting of the ground, ecart. It is essential if one is going to tread a new path. One has to change the ground from which one ventures out. See also Thomas Kuhn on paradigm shifts.
