@Cpt.Frost you share epistemological similarities with colonialists and ridiculous people that thinks that socialism is about rationality and to blindly obey the government whatsoever, and other shit like that, I don't
@Cpt.Frost fucking Latin American left, you've been there for a century now and the only thing you managed to achieve is Bolsonaro.. study fucking hell.. study
@Cpt.Frost you really don't know anything about postcolonialism criticism of capitalism, do you? Ok, I've got cacao in my head, still better than believing that feminism has been controlled by the CIA or thinking that real socialism and nationalism go hand by hand, as I can see from your videos that praise murderers on your channel.. Jesus I would hate being you. Have fun
Seriously changed my life with this video, if you didn't introduce me to Deleuze I'd still be deeply frustrated in search for the language to translate and sher these deeply complex and confusing visions and ideas that I've had but never been able to pin down in language for myself or others, and if I didn't stumble across this last year my direction would be undoubtedly in a different direction in my philosophical journey. Thank You so much!
I read Philosophy at a decent University 20 years ago, your content matches the levels of engagement and rigour offered by them. You deserve more credit for your output which is highly engaging and pitches at the right type level to be of interest to a wide audience. What a fabulous resource.
It was time for this! Deleuze is too relevant not to have good video essays on his philosophy. Just some remarks. Deleuze began conceptualizing an ontology of difference rather than identity, but some may argue that he, after Guattari, somewhat changed that to accommodate the multiple, with a new more pluralist ontology of multiplicity. The same goes to understanding Deleuze as a monist, as some people may argue he got further and further from defending unifying conceptual structures beyond the aesthetic, or that his paradox Pluralism = Monism gave a new layer to his position, that couldn't be stated as a monism as it is commonly understood. And you should have probably used his term "concept" instead of "idea", since they are not equal in his metaphysics. Glad to finally see a good intro essay on Deleuze here on TH-cam. Keep it up, do A Thousand Plateaus next!
He's right to use idea, since Deleuze bashes "the concept" in this work, before eventually coming back to it in WiP. On the monist point and the change in his thinking, or at least terminology, one of the stranger things is that he gives such pride of place to the concept of univocity in this work, but it entirely vanishes afterwards. I've always puzzled at the changes between his works, ATP unleashes a whole new conceptual apparatus, even if it is motivated by basically the same problems.
@@liledman76 I find that ( paradoxically ?) semantics often gets in the way when one tries to describe ATP's work. It could be argued ( in response on your comment ) that Deleuze idea's on 'The concept' becomes a concept in itself the moment one wants to describe it.
This is what a lot of Bundle Theorists have to say on Spinoza's "substance" the act of trying to conceiving of an eternal or an infinite gives it a conceptual boundary that is inherently limiting
Yes in a function of determinations of your biology contrasted by the multipicities and assemblages who defy the process of his ontology of biological determinations of l in difference. We can do that for you but that's not what I wanted. Metaphysics is old epistimic systems of causality that fall short of proper causality of ontological processes in difference, these systems of metaphysical ontology were deconstructed by Heidegger. I wouldn't say conceptualizing but actual doing by being-in-the-world while at odds with methods of epistimic, metaphysic systems to fully authenticate your biology, as defined in difference within a process of being-towards-death in ontic formations of the ontological of Dasein. In a way it is similar, at least the one I read, various conceptual frameworks, like heideggerian ontology but easier to understand; however he doesn't relate them in forms of reductive processing in various ontology forms (he shouldn't have to,) but defines the concepts rather than demonstrating the emergence of biological determinations within the difference of repetition ontology. The problem of ontology of multiplication is the inversion of difference in the assemblage and possible worlds of the I in its formation after rejected through difference. And difference can be simply refined by a discharge from repetition of a schedule, not eating 3 times a day, or other programs of being have a schedule within' temporal processes that's in repetition within' systems of ontology that are naturally rejected in difference then synthesized into biological determinations of repetition at odds with difference. Truth is irrelevant and knowledge of things is processed after in difference.
Hi I’m doing my PhD on education ; my area of research is post structuralism.i started reading difference and repetition. I decided to get an understanding so found your channel which I found very useful . Thanks immensely !
Thank you so much for making this. You're giving sooo valuable insight into thought that is hard to access and understand yet has such radical potential to reshape how we conceptualize everything!
@@timhorton2486 Man, if you, like, don't understand it, like, that's so oppressive of the other - so reductive, totalising and fascist! My favourite piece of philosophy was written by Desmond, a crack and cider addict who lives in the local bus station. I gave him a keyboard and asked him to authentically write his explanation of ontological reality. He tried to eat the keyboard - but I just know what he was saying. I've had that keyboard now for 5 years and I still can't quite grasp Desmond's explanations. I may do a video on it on my channel - it's called Wake Up You Stupid Cunt! This Shit has NO Fuckin' Meaning - and that's it's Point! Total pleb!
@@timhorton2486 You're welcome, my son. I can make it even simpler - just read 1st rate thinkers and avoid the 3rd and 4th rate and below. There are many 2nd rate tinkers of note that you should think about - and some of them are involved in the perverse dance of bullshittery, that pampered and pretentious people find so fascinating. Just take a tip from science - it's about practical use. If you stuck to real knowledge, you'd know that.
It's very strange to me how TH-cam is demonetizing so many channels all across the spectrum. People like to assume it's only those of particular genres/content, but that's incorrect. It seems to be impacting nearly everybody on this site (aside from, perhaps, the major corporate channels, especially big media companies). Useful as this site has been, it's not a bad idea to start uploading copies to other video platforms as a back-up or laying the groundwork for a future financial alternative. Just sad to see so many useful channels demonetized for seemingly no good reason.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I am a visual artist writing my Masters by Research exegesis, and this overview has really helped me. I would love another on the rhizome as this idea has revolutionised the way I think about the creative process and myself in the world.
Very interesting! Some concepts mentioned remind me of the buddhist's philosophy of impermanence and emptiness (absence of inherent existence). I recommend Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika or Candrakirti's Madhyamakavatara if anyone is interested! :D
What makes this video and in fact the whole channel is the quality of production and the depth of insight with regards the materials. There are a lot of philosophy channels on TH-cam, they tend to run the gambit between evangelising the host (philosophy tube) or so dumbing down,overly simplifying or worse losing the point of the material(the school of life). This is a wonderful channel that provides real utility!
Please keep going with Deleuze 🙏 he's an intellectual struggle. But really what i like about it till this moment is, when you raise a repeating, a difference (as an idea, or a concept) you raise certain value of human's intellectuality, it pushes your mind confidence forward. It praises your ideas. They are maybe not wrong but different, the philosophy of Deleuze recreates human after "human was dead".
As good an explanation as I've received it on Deleuze. Thank you! Can anyone tell me about some concrete examples of how Deleuze's thoughts were practically implemented into anything, such as personal lives, politics, natural sciences, etc.?
As a sociology student from Turkey, I would like to thank you for this great video :) And now I am waiting for the concept of desire and its relation to object in Deleuze.
Wow, this has to be the best ever explanation of Deleuze, I am just reading difference and repetition and was looking for a way to understand the basics in plain English first thanks so much really enjoy your programmes.
I think history might look back on Deleuze in 100 years time as the most important philosopher of the 2nd half of the 20th century in opening the gate to new ideas... something I'm trying to write about myself. Glad to have stumbled upon this thinker. He probably already said a lot of what I wish to say.
Then and Now, have you ever read Zen philosophy? It's fascinating to me how Deleuze had some crossover with the emphasis that some Zen thinkers place on how thought is an inadequate representation of the ultimate reality we live in. Just something you may want to give a try!
I just started reading Delouze and what I got out of it so far is that there is chaos that is a sort of field that is in constant flux, not static, like white noise is all audible frequencies at once and they are all constantly interacting with each other. A sine wave is a repetition, in white noise there is also that sine wave but to isolate it you need to repeat it over time, it needs to stand out. I can see an object because the light repeatedly bounces of the object instead of moving freely in chaos. When those repeated objects interact with other parts of itself or other objects then you have rhythm, like a flower opening under the sunlight or dozens of muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints working in sync to grab a can of soda. That is what I got out of it so far but I might be off.
On Substance vs. Process metaphysics as the temporal aspect of identity and difference, because quite a bit of people first think "temporal" when it comes to difference, equations in physics formalize the process as a non-changing, formal object, abstracting a being out of becoming, still an equation while blurring the line between process and substance, essence and existence, remains a differential structure and the difference defines its identity.
"The phantasms of the surface replace the hallucinations of depth; dreams of accelerated gliding replace the painful nightmare of burial and absorption." This is the quote I remember from reading Deleuze. The Logic of Sense changed my life. His work with Felix is of course masterful in it's own way ("God is a Lobster" words to live by, indeed). I can't reccomend the amazing experience of his Abecadaire, his run through of topics starting with the prompts of the letters of the alphabet. I had it across three DVDs and watched it with a great friend in one long, very heavy, sitting. Just go for it, I say, you've got nothing Deleuze...
Please make more videos about this type of more contemporary thinkers, such as Guattari, Agamben, Kristeva, Parisi, please, they're so difficult yet so fascinating… and your videos do help a lot on understanding them better
I love your channel, and thanks for exploring one of my favourite thinkers. His metaphysics, conscious or not, influenced me through my social science degrees. I want to explore more, but I stopped because I need to explore Kant - and as you wrote, Spinoza. But, don't forget Nietzsche and Bergson. Also, Deleuze did critique structuralism, even writing a paper on how we recognise structures. His poststructuralism is definitely deeper than those concerned with language. Your section on the Virtual encapsulates this changing structure, the focus on flows, desire, lines of flight, assemblages, and most importantly, the Rhizome, his image of thought that is different to Aristotle's Tree/hierarchal thinking. The Rhizome has no hierarchy, beginning, end, direction, filled with connections that lead to the Actual (I think reflected in the growth of the rhizome, I.e. mushrooms ect.). What video did you release that led to demonitarisation?
Science has many examples of both static and dynamic analysis. Like describing statistically a population in some point in time or describing its evolution along the time. Psychologists develop both an understanding of how someone is and how he could evolve. How is Deleuze analysis different?
You mentioned Spinoza and how his view promotes a world full of possibilities, but I'm not sure if I understand why. I always took him to promote the idea that the world could not be any other way than it is right now, since all of nature is determined from the necessity of the divine nature (see P29 from Book I of the Ethics). In Spinoza's world, it seems like there is no room for possibilities.
Thank you very much for this vid! It brought to me a lot of new ideas extremely wonderful and simple explanation of Deleuze now I can reread and dive in :) Great work man
Nice. I really enjoyed the slow paced clearly spoken and well-structured content. A lot of hard work has gone into the making of this video. Thanks man.
beautiful video!!! making concepts visible such as the "virtual". Amazing, please keep making these videos, You're putting Deleuze on film, making the image speak.
Been reading this week Ray Carney's interesting 'The films of John Cassavetes,' in which he links Cassavetes' restless cinematic vision and resistance to fixed identities to American pragmatist philosophers James and Emerson. Based on what Carney quotes, Emerson in particular reads like a precursor to Deleuze. But do you think Deleuze was even aware of these guys?
It really expanded my understanding of Derrida. Now I think I really see the point of the differance as an ontology. Sidenote, jumping between the video and your face staring at the camera (with a different and less nitid voice) distracts me a quite a lot, I have to say... Sidenote 2: I became your patreon last week! First time ever! Long life to this channel
Then & Now I never missed them. I enjoyed not knowing the face beyond the voice but that's of course my personal feeling and you shouldn't pay attention to it. Keep enjoying. Hugs.
“Each repetition is something new” - this video has been watched X times, and each time the situation created is different as each viewer is different. Video = hub, viewers = spokes.
This was a great video. Looking forward to the rest of the series. There are some interesting parallels between Deleuze and Whitehead that may be interesting to explore at some point. Thanks!
Please consider doing a video on Paul de Man. He may not be as well known as Michel Foucault, but his influence on literary theory is undeniable. In fact, Derrida once said that the only person who ever made him think deeper about his own writing was Paul de Man.
If things are on a fundamentally ontological basis constantly revolving in relation to one another, there has to be a centre around which things revolve beside themselves which is the foundation of reality. This foundation of reality creates the preconditions for things to be in motion and therefore to change (in reference to Deleuze's materialism). Consequently, there is a good reason for categorical thinking in the sense of Aristotle and Kant, if there are indeed certain preconditions that create motion and change; to negate this argument would be absurd because there has to be a cause for a thing to be in motion in order to change in relation to the cause itself.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying
Basically every School of Life video: '[something something] ART'
We *need* some basic philosopher courses in a Brit-ish accent
cuck philosophy also makes great and well-researched videos on mostly postmodernist and marxist philosophy

Oi amiguinha compatriota, esse canal tem muitos vídeos bons. Recomendo sobre Foucault também!!
Spinoza, Kant...what about Bergson? You might have mentioned this major influence for Deleuze
Marx maybe?
"BergZon"
Really recommend Manuel De Landa's books for an accessible approach to Deleuze that isn't just a "for dummies"

Excellent introduction to Deleuze. It seems that what Deleuze means by "generalization" is "inductive inference" in the philosophical language.
Thank you for making Deleuze not boring every other video was boring
These videos are so fucking good. Unbelievable how much time, effort and love you put in these videos. Well done, loving it!
Brilliant! I was looking a few weeks ago for a run down of Deleuze and couldnt find anything. This is perfect, thanks for the excellent video.
You're great at explaining these complex ideas. Thanks a lot!
beautiful video!!! making concepts visible such as the "virtual". Amazing, please keep making these videos, You're putting Deleuze on film, making the image speak.
Wow you explain this 100x clearer than truediltom. You're my go to philosophy tuber now, thank you.
these videos are honestly fantastic, keep it up dude
Thank you, much appreciated!
Bergson - nuff said :)
Why the hell is youtube demonetizing a Deleuzian lecture?
I am beginning to understand Deleuze, thank you so much.
thank you! you deserve at least a comment for the algo.
Been reading this week Ray Carney's interesting 'The films of John Cassavetes,' in which he links Cassavetes' restless cinematic vision and resistance to fixed identities to American pragmatist philosophers James and Emerson. Based on what Carney quotes, Emerson in particular reads like a precursor to Deleuze. But do you think Deleuze was even aware of these guys?
Jeeej, Love the vid. Clearly explained to understand Deleuze and one of his key concept. Can't wait for the nexts!
It really expanded my understanding of Derrida. Now I think I really see the point of the differance as an ontology.
Sidenote, jumping between the video and your face staring at the camera (with a different and less nitid voice) distracts me a quite a lot, I have to say...
Sidenote 2: I became your patreon last week! First time ever!
Long life to this channel
Thank you, it's hugely appreciated! Yes, I need a better mic for the live shots... I think the shots themselves are necessary though?
Then & Now I never missed them. I enjoyed not knowing the face beyond the voice but that's of course my personal feeling and you shouldn't pay attention to it.
Keep enjoying.
Hugs.
“Each repetition is something new” - this video has been watched X times, and each time the situation created is different as each viewer is different. Video = hub, viewers = spokes.
Thanks, now I understand the ending scene of Matrix revolutions
This was a great video. Looking forward to the rest of the series. There are some interesting parallels between Deleuze and Whitehead that may be interesting to explore at some point. Thanks!
Brilliant. Life changing. Thank you so much.
Please consider doing a video on Paul de Man. He may not be as well known as Michel Foucault, but his influence on literary theory is undeniable. In fact, Derrida once said that the only person who ever made him think deeper about his own writing was Paul de Man.
Haven't read any but will add him to the list! Thanks :)
fantastic video..interesting how you speak so clearly and understand these texts
Great video, it's hard to find good videos about deleuze on youtube
Would you think about doing a video on each chapter from difference & repetition?
As great as that would be it would be so time-consuming as to detract from the rest of the channel. Maybe one day...
Thanks a lot for this enormous explanation of Deleuze!!!
This is brilliant. Thanks for making
This is a very nice video ,thanks for sharing your knowledge .
Thanks for watching :)
this video changed my life, ok not rly, but i think ive found my philosophy
This is very good
Wow, thanks! Clearly, thoughtfully composed.
Discovered your channel today - fantastic stuff! Please more Deleuze.
Well I listened to this about Deleuze and I still don’t know what he was talking about. It must be simple at heart. Differences? So what.
Really good explanation!
I like what you did there with the "bodies of the dead."
If things are on a fundamentally ontological basis constantly revolving in relation to one another, there has to be a centre around which things revolve beside themselves which is the foundation of reality.
This foundation of reality creates the preconditions for things to be in motion and therefore to change (in reference to Deleuze's materialism).
Consequently, there is a good reason for categorical thinking in the sense of Aristotle and Kant, if there are indeed certain preconditions that create motion and change; to negate this argument would be absurd because there has to be a cause for a thing to be in motion in order to change in relation to the cause itself.
