It is in and through this development that Žižek arrives at the “individual” or singularity, the third stage in the [[Hegelian triad]] of [[universality–particularity– singularity]]. The [[constitutive exception]] is singular in its exceptional character – it stands alone among the other particulars, not as a particular kind over and against them (which would make it only particular) but as an exception to the very idea that it is a “kind” at all. In other words, its exceptional character is the same thing as its subversion of the [[abstract universality]] of which it is supposed to be an instance, and it thereby stands out as singular.
