Gilles Deleuze

On Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s What Is Philosophy? (1991).

How is philosophy different from science and art? What’s the relationship between different philosophies? Is better pursued solo, or in a group? Deleuze described philosophy as the creation of new concepts, whereas science is about functions that map observed regularities and art is about creating percepts and affects. Just reading or writing about past philosophers is not enough; you have to actually create concepts, and to create or understand a concept requires a “plane of immanence,” which is something like a set of background intuitions that is not private to a particular mind. Such a plane constitutes an image of what thought is and determines what questions will be considered legitimate, so trying to evaluate a past philosophy without grappling with the plane means you’ll inevitably misunderstand the philosopher and your critiques will just talk past him or her. Likewise, if you yank a philosophical concept out of its plane and try to turn it into a proposition that you can evaluate, it’s inevitably going to seem weak, like “just an opinion,” because propositions are not what philosophy creates. As for a pragmatist, “truth” for Deleuze is something defined within a plane, not some transcendental standard used to judge planes or concepts.

Mark, Seth, and Dylan are joined by “sophist” (PhD in rhetoric) Daniel Coffeen to try to figure this out.

Notes de bas de page #1 - G. Deleuze - L'art et les sociétés de contrôle / Mixtape

Professor Elizabeth Grosz addresses the complex relation between Francis Bacon and Gilles Deleuze, who wrote one of the most perceptive and sympathetic books on Bacon’s painting, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. Both Bacon and Deleuze, argues Grosz were interested in the possibilities for presenting and perceiving forces that are normally imperceptible - forces of magnetism, gravity, causality and chance, forces of aging and disintegration.

The lecture was co-presented with the Power Institute and the Art Gallery of NSW exhibition 'Francis Bacon: Five Decades'.

Elizabeth Grosz on Bacon, Deleuze and Imperceptible Forces

Deleuze - French Philosopher- speaks influentially about the act of creation, the creation of an idea, created out of a need and making up an act of resistance. 
He speaks beautifully, with rythm, with duende.
