Summary/Abstract: There are two possible postmodernist discourses. The first one is that it is completely a consequence of the linear history of philosophy itself, which ends in the metaphysical self-execution of philosophy as a nonsense. Deconstruction is only an artistic euphemism. Philosophy is a game in which we could only deconstruct the constructs that have only immanent referential frame in the reality of the language without any meaningful connection with the outside world as a transcendence. The death of the subject is a pure ramification of the reconfiguration of the contemporary philosophical discourse, a matter of claim of the honest “language game” player. Postmodern philosophy is some kind of fulfillment of the time, because it is strongly temporalized by the prefix “post”. The doxology of postmodernism is suggesting discontinuity, but the archeology, paradoxically, tells us that the discontinuity is an effect of continuity and illusion. Simply, postmodern discourse is tied up in the diachronic, in becoming directly irrelevant for the world. The other postmodern philosophy is a machine created on the nietzscheanism as a flux. Foucault and Delleuze have produced philosophical machines of synchronicity. Language is not neutral instance but it is one regime of power. It is the regime of the transcendence; the Power that produces subject, but also leads us to resistance, to open possibility of self-subjection. The self is a creation, not dying figure in the archive of statements. Philosophy as a genealogy provides therapeutic tools for the new subjectivity. The search for the new philosophy of the self as a machine of synchrony with Nietzsche is some kind of non-linear continuity with the western thought, and at the same time is a discontinuity with that same thought as a difference produced on the “body” of the postmodernism.
