Multiple modes of relating define the world simultaneously, not as guises but identities

Evidence

However, the fact is that neither individuals as free-floating entities nor communities as solidaristic wholes occupy the social space on their own. Each is constituted in and through its relation to that which is other and different from itself. If this is not to result in either “the war of all against all” or a segregated communalism, then we must look for how both the greater recognition of difference and greater equality and justice for all can become part of a common “horizon.” — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 378 (#expands, via linked claim)

Adorno does not believe that identity should be thought of as a final principle in whose name all contradictions should ultimately be transcended. After all, according to its own concept, identity is itself necessarily mediated by what it is not: by the non-identical: Identity and contradiction of thought are welded together. — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 1223 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
