The present paper explores a different approach to the matter of identity (denied, ignored, deconstructed versus accepted and/or constructed) as revealed in Leon Wieseltier’s Against Identity, a collection of 74 aphorisms built as an argumentative discourse by means of which the author questions the facets of identity, elaborates on the understanding of the concept, on the limits imposed on it, thus constructing and at the same time deconstructing it.
