“Deleuze is above all a logician and all his books are ‘Logics.’ [...] Anti-Oedipus could have been called ‘Logic of Desire,’ just as A Thousand Plateaus could have been called ‘Logic of Multiplicities.’” (Lapoujade 2014, 26).
“These two books multiply logics to the point of conceiving capitalism as an axiomatic, with postulates and theorems. Likewise the books on cinema could have been called ‘Logic of Images,’ just as there are a Logic of Sense and a Logic of Sensation.”
“When Deleuze and Guattari say that philosophy consists in the creation of concepts, to what else are they referring but to the production of logics, given that a concept is never created alone but always in conjunction with other concepts?”
probably the best book on Deleuze i've read
what is the book called exactly.....in english? logic of sense is the book by him I've most enjoyed/been baffled by him. It is certainly about logic, but also its necessary beyonds, outsides, the only hesitation I would have in "reducing" his project to logics.
The title is Aberrant Movements (translation published 2017). Logic of Sense is definitely a wild ride, and one I’ve been meaning to return to for a while. Also of interest are the qualifications Lapoujade makes regarding what he means by logic:https://twitter.com/thewastedworld/status/1027835148614610944?s=21 …
damm, wow!....that is of course what I meant to say ;-) thanks, can't wait to read this!
No worries! It’s definitely the best secondary lit I’ve read on Deleuze in a while.
Have you come across Daniel C Barbers? His DELEUZE AND THE NAMING OF GOD been at the top of my "secondary" D&G lit list. He has the theological logics covered anyhow. an essay and podcast with him just in case: https://mynameismynamepod.tumblr.com/post/86553406278/episode-2 … http://www.jcrt.org/archives/13.1/barber.pdf …
I’ll have to look him up, cheers!
I still need to get my hands on The Logic of Sense as well as see L'Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze. But perhaps problematically, I have not read any secondary literature on Deleuze.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll have my Deleuze shelf cleared out by the end of the year, and will then spend a weekend over Christmas marathoning his ABCs.
One does not simply read Deleuze once.
Thank you for this wonderful quote; I’m going to have to check this out.
Boom!
