“Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to ‘accelerate the process,’ as
Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we haven't seen anything yet.” Deleuze and Guattari

People who claim that Deleuze is merely incoherent or obscurantist aren’t giving the time and attention required to understand his work. He enacted the primary conceptual innovation of the 20th century after Hegel in the 19th. Of course his writing is difficult.

“I do not write against anyone or anything. For me, writing is an absolutely positive act: it is articulating what one admires, rather than combating what one detests. To write merely to denounce is the lowest form of writing.” Deleuze, 1995

nobody ever applies this argument to any other academic field of study besides humanities and social sciences. why should all theory have to be written for complete novices, and why should novices not be expected to broaden their vocabulary?

Truly intelligent people can describe complex ideas in a way that a layman can understand. Being verbose is intentional obfuscation to maintain their little "elite" circle.

You're not crazy. An evil demon *could* be deceiving you about the nature of reality. You're simply questioning the foundations of knowledge. And honestly? That's brave

The heart of Deleuze’s philosophy: “I feel rather connected to problems that aim at seeking the means to do away with the system of judgment, and to replace it with something else.”

In the last day, I finished my manuscript for Deleuze and Polytheism, completed my course design for the Summer term, and served on a dissertation committee. I think I’ll go outside now.

Publication day.
The complete 3‑volume Leibniz’s Philosophical Papers is now out from @OUPAcademic. The volumes contain hundreds of texts, the majority in English for the first time, and some never published before in any form.
For anyone interested in early modern philosophy.

Has anyone else noticed that the last sentence of Gatsby inverts Bergson’s claim in CE, while keeping his cadence: ‘It is into pure duration that we then plunge back, a duration in which the past, always moving on, is swelling unceasingly with a present that is absolutely new’?

To overcome capitalist realism, socialism must be more than a protest.
It must offer a vision of a democratic economy beyond class rule — and a path to reach it: jacobin.com/2026/04/socialis…
