After reading Douglas Burnham's response where he mentioned Deleuze, I tried reading the Stanford Encyclopedia's entry on Deleuze, with little understanding. Could someone please explain what "difference" is in Deleuze and what preeminence of "identity" he is trying to undermine?? And/or recommend further (comprehensible) reading on the matter? Much appreciated.

Hi -- I guess you are referring to an answer I wrote about Nietzsche and the notion of 'eternal recurrence'. I wish I could help you directly, but Deleuze is not one of my areas of specialisation. However, I've always found 'Nietzsche and Philosophy', an early book of his, to be quite readable -- that's bound to be the best place to start.
