But\u00a0what does that mean for the possibilities\u00a0of dialogue between Irigaray and Nietzsche in particular? On the one hand,\u00a0Nietzsche is taken to repudiate and appropriate sexual difference and to\u00a0deny\u00a0maternal origins. In this respect, Irigaray directs at him a critique also\u00a0directed at a large number of other philosophers.\u00a0 On the other hand,\u00a0Irigaray considers sexual\u00a0difference to be, Nietzsche&#8217;s real abyss. When eternal recurrence loses its\u00a0status as the most abyssal thought, it takes on a double status. It is\u00a0converted by Irigaray to a symptom, but also to a candidate\u00a0for replacement. This response makes a case for retaining more of the\u00a0singularity\u00a0of Irigaray&#8217;s response to Nietzsche when she\u00a0 introduces an ethical\u00a0field into a philosophical framework that can only repudiate it. In so\u00a0doing Irigaray\u00a0offers us the curious confrontation between\u00a0 different works of\u00a0innovations in the very form of critique.
