equivocity

The important fact about all these wordings is not so much that they elude any attempt to grasp the sense of the phrase, at least in a single shape, it lies in the recognition that equivocity is no more to be discarded altogether.

18th Century French Aesthetics Morizot, Jacques 2006

Univocity ” as opposed to its great rivals, equivocity and analogy ” is the key to developing a “philosophy of difference” (Deleuze's term for his project in Difference and Repetition), in which difference would no longer be subordinated to identity.

Gilles Deleuze Smith, Daniel 2008
