Another great video! Was just reading about Bergson vs. Whitehead's ideas of time and duration and the Bergson vs Einstein debate. Apparently Bergson and Whitehead had somewhat differing views in some respect yet both liked by Deleuze.
Thank you! Absolutely, I think Deleuze got some of his original insights on difference from Bergson, whereas Whitehead seems to have come only later to his attention. Both are qualified as "vitalists" by Deleuze somewhere, but it's true that they differ in many ways--would be a cool research topic.
Excellent rundown of Process and Reality. Just a random thought: I’d be very interested in following/reading along if you made a series on Anti-Œdipe and Mille Plateaux. Best of luck in any case!
Please do create new content . It’s so great you have come back to creation . I just love listening to your gentle and soft voice and the way you articulate hard to understand Ideas is just incomparable . Thank you
Since you opened to the topic of suggestions for future videos… I really loved the way that you have broken down piece by piece the Logic of Sense. But at the same time you managed to resume so well. And if you could do the same to The Fold would be as useful for my understanding as yours Logic of Sense and Diference and Repetition series have been. Love your videos! Thanks for the beautiful work. ❤
A Whitehead video - hell yeah! I think it'd be really awesome if you kept making ones about the slightly less written-about inspirations to Deleuze. Would you consider making one about his semiotic/linguistic influences (Peirce, Uexkull, Hjelmslev)? One I'd really love to see is Lewis Mumford. He's definitely an influence on Deleuze's work with Guattari, but theres very little written about this, and his books are barely printed at all.
Great idea, thanks for the suggestion. I definitely would consider a video on semiotics/linguistics, one of the things that made Deleuze so relevant to me is his commentary on Peirce. Mumford sounds great as well, I wanted to read him for a long time. Is there a book of his that you would recommend?
When it comes to Hjelmslev, did Deleuze use him as much in his solo works as with the stuff he did with Guattari? I really need to dive deeper into Deleuze’s semiotics.
@@schizoanalyticOnion Good question, I think Hjelmselv was more of a focus for D&G than for Deleuze. For example in the books on cinema Deleuze focusses almost entirely on Peirce (I remember a quite good commentary explaining the reasons why Deleuze only went so far with Hjelmslev, unfortunately I cannot remember who or where I saw it). That would make for some quite interesting content indeed!
Excellent as always king. I am trying to write a thesis about the ontological evolution in Bruno Latour's system, a Deleuze and Whitehead reader, and this video will be a great help. Since you are accepting ideas for new videos, I have recently read a book by Arjen Kleinherenbrink entitled "Against Continuity", he proposes a gap in Deleuze ontology between D&R and Logic of Sense from a ontology of a single virtual plane or continuum and actual individual entities (therefore, a new version of Archaic Depth like the presocratics Archei) to a completely flat ontology where each entity, assemblage or machine has a virtual and actual duality. In other words, Deleuze wouldn't be a "process philosophy". What do you think about that? Best regards.
Thank you very much and congrats on your upcoming projects, that's super exciting stuff! Well, my understanding of the relation between D&R and LoS is that LoS is essentially "applied D&R". The virtual/actual dichotomy is what Deleuze calls "expressionism", and it's the central topic of his secondary thesis (Expressionism in philosophy: Spinoza) which he wrote along with D&R (i.e. his primary thesis), so I would not argue that there is a gap in the 68-69 period. Some say that LoS actually marks the end of Deleuze's first period, which makes sense. I'm not familiar with Kleinherenbrink's argument and I could be completely wrong, but he appears to say that singularities can't be reduced to an abstract continuity? That's certainly the case, but I don't see what's new here (which is what makes me think that I'm probably misunderstanding his argument). It's true that you can't reduce singularities to a hypostatic or abstract continuity, or "flux", out of which they're extracted somehow; rather you must explain how singularities appear, and how continuity is formed, which is what Deleuze does both in D&R and LoS. A "flux" doesn't explain anything, it's what must be explain. But similarly with singularities, understood as "differenciated" objects. This is the idea of immanence, or explaining a problem in its own terms. Also, I'm not sure you can put Deleuze in the "speculative realism" team, even as a precursor. I think Badiou and Meillassoux both misunderstand Deleuze (though for good reasons). Funnily enough, I was thinking of making a more "relaxed" and less technical video on Badiou/Deleuze, so that might be a good opportunity. Sorry for the long text--hope it makes sense a little.
@@IamLordGriffith It's funny you should mention this because I just wrote a short article on the human aspect of the Badiou-Deleuze relation, but I didn't publish it because it's quite unflattering for Badiou. Maybe I should turn it into a video. But a video on Meillassoux's criticism is definitely a great idea, I'll be checking for "mental pop ups" about speculative realism in the future!
You are guilty of making me excited to read another philosopher that as interesting as he is hard to understand: Whitehead. Do you have any recommendations on where to start with him besides Deleuze's chapter on The Fold?
Cheers Daniel, appreciate it! I think "Process and reality" is a good place to start, it's mentioned on a few occasions by Deleuze in the seminars and in the texts as well. It's likely the main text Deleuze read from Whitehead. From what I recall it's technical but still accessible, so definitely worth a look, especially for the part on convergence. Personally if I had another lifetime I'd definitely read the "Principia" just for the bit on the impersonal pronoun, but I think it's quite advanced formal logic.
so by subjectification (which essentially imposes a time buffer onto prehension) of an event we make it a representation and thus convert it into an eternal object?

Thanks Leonard, appreciate it! It's a great suggestion, I'd love to work on these two books and certainly will in the not-too-distant future.

Sounds like a fair summary
Very good!!
