Summary/Abstract: The main theme of this article is Milbank’s critique of Deleuzian “metaphysics of difference”. In the first part of article we will introduce how Deleuze understands relationship between univocity of being and difference. It will help us to understand goal of philosophy for Deleuze and the way how he tried to achieve it. In the second part of this article we will show how Milbank critically read Deleuze. Indirectly we will show why Milbank thinks that Deleuze had totally misunderstood classical analogy of being and how Deleuze subordinated analogy of being to univocty of being. Deleuze extrapolated univocty of being from ontological model founded in the ontology of Duns Scotus and he extended this model with Spinoza and Nietzsche. In the third part of this article we will show how Milbank radically questioned Deleuzian nihilistic understanding of difference and repetition. In the last part of this article we will show how Milbank constructed plausible metaphysical alternative in contrary to Deleuzian violent metaphysical nihilism. We will show how Milbank articulated neoplatonic paradoxes of vertical and horizontal participation and how he discovered deeper sense of classical analogy of being. This discovery will help him to confront Deleuzian differentiated, nihilistic dark precursor articulated by univocity code.
