In this article, we focus on the possibilities of the philosophical concept of "singularity" in political sphere. We explicate the dimensions of singularity which emphasise difference, relationality and change. By discussing these dimensions in the context of political philosophy, we stress the problems that a politics of singularity seeks to analyse. Some ideas would emerge on the sustainability of this political strategy and the effectiveness of it in realising founding self-government practices. Then, by discussing the acquisitions and imperfections of the politics of singularity, we try to reveal the possibilities for this political strategy to become a strong form of resistance. So, we hope to make a theoretical contribution to dispel the weak points of the politics of singularity
