However, as I have tried to show, while in Deleuze's metaphysics we find something like Whiteheadian pure potentiality reappearing in a radically
decentered form, the net result is less a neo-Whiteheadian naturalism than a distinctly
postmodern avatar of polytheism: a vision of multiple «little divinities» effecting random syntheses of differential elements within an immanent space of possibilities: a theory of evolution metamorphosed into Chaosmological Myth: an unqualified affirmation of the endless, goalless, production of Difference.
First, there is the problem that Iago is the villain of the play and not its hero: far from looking like the complete Renaissance man, he resembles nothing so much as the unstable,
decentered postmodern subject.
