Abstract: The aim of the article is to ground a new conception of philosophy, namely, philosophy qua heterology. This grounding coincides with an overcoming of the philosophy as an onto-theological project. The main issue is considering being qua difference. We should base our understanding of being on difference instead of the difference between being and beings, as being and beings emerge “between”. This “between”, however, is not a moment in time or a position in space, but, on the contrary, this is time-space, the operation of being as an event which precedes any objectivation in space and time. Explication of philosophy qua heterology necessitates the transformation of a number of fundamental philosophical concepts, such as becoming, difference, event and multiplicity.
