It’s a strange business speaking for yourself, in your own name, because it doesn’t come at all with seeing yourself as an ego or a person or a subject. Individuals find a real name for themselves, rather, only through the harshest exercise of depersonalization, by opening themselves up to the multiplicities everywhere within them, to the intensities running through them. -Deleuze,...

davidwpritchard:
I find Hallward’s arguments compelling, but his conclusion is unsatisfying and, I think, does a disservice to Deleuze’s thought. I understand there are strong political dimensions to Deleuzian thought, but I have read him always first and foremost as an epistemologist,…

davidwpritchard:
Foucault talking about Deleuze? WIN. Can’t wait to read this, sharing prematurely out of sheer excitement. Maybe I should read Difference and Repetition first. But I’ve read Logic of Sense! He talks about that one too. Maybe Foucault will help shed light on how to read Difference and Repetition. Maybe I should stop thinking out loud and just read the damn essay.

thinking about this kind of blows my mind (and this was written wayyyyy before facebook, etc.) and it’s interesting to me too because i’m always so “dream of a common language”-y, and this makes me think about that

“that is why it is so difficult to say how someone learns: there is an innate or practical familiarity with signs, which means that there is something amorous—but also something fatal—about all education. we learn nothing from those who say: ‘do as i do.’ our only teachers are those who tell us…

notrejourviendra:
The absence of a project doesn’t indicate a lacuna, but is in fact the condition of what Deleuze calls “believing in the world” (not believing in another world, or one transformed): Deleuze held that faith in the world or in what happens to us is the problem, or at least has become so (cf. …

This is why Nietzsche presents the dialectic as the speculation of the pleb, as the way of thinking of the slave: the abstract thought of contradiction then prevails over the concrete feeling of positive difference, reaction over action, revenge and ressentiment take the place of aggression….

Herein, perhaps, lies the secret: to bring into existence and not to judge. If it is so disgusting to judge, it is not because everything is of equal value, but on the contrary because what has value can be made or distinguished only by defying judgment. What expert judgment, in art, could ever…
