Give me the TL;DR on him.
I've skimmed through some introductory materials of his writings and they catch my curiosity yet I am too brainlet to actually read them. What exactly is schizoanalysis and how does capitalism relate to schizophrenia?

 No.6473

There really is no easy TL;DR, he wrote about a lot of very different things. You could start with the SEP article, especially the part about his collaboration with Guattari.

>I am too brainlet to actually read them

Just do it, anon. Deleuze himself said that you should jump right into Anti-Oedipus even if you have no background in philosophy.

>The history of philosophy has always been the agent of power in philosophy, and even in thought. It has played the repressors role: how can you think without having read Plato, Descartes, Kant and Heidegger, and so-and-so’s book about them? A formidable school of intimidation which manufactures specialists in thought – but which also makes those who stay outside conform all the more to this specialism which they despise. An image of thought called philosophy has been formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking.

lecture 1 of 7

This video with professor in philosophy Todd May, Clemson University, SC, USA, show the 1 and 2_1 lecture Todd Mays gave about Gilles Deleuzes dissertation from 1968: Difference and Repetition in DISPUK, Denmark. This clip is recorded in April - May 2017.
Todd May gave seven lectures each focusing on different aspects of Difference and Repetition. There is especially a focus on the concepts the virtual and the actual.

Todd May is an excellent lecturer. He gives many examples to illustrate the points in Deleuzes difficult philosophy. Foucault wrote about Deleuzes work that this century (the last) might be called Deleuzian

lecture 1 of 14

Recent political theory has shifted decidedly towards ontology, the 'science of being', and thus towards examining fundamental concepts of identity, difference, space, and time. This new focus has reinvigorated questions concerning the nature of power, meaning, truth and agency, inspiring novel approaches to individual and collective subjectivity, the emergence of political events and the relationship between desire and politics. In this new study, Nathan Widder shows how Deleuze's philosophy both inspires and presses beyond political theory's 'ontological turn'.

Linking his thought to current political theory debates, Widder explains how Deleuze's philosophy and ontology of difference are cashed out through a micropolitics of creative and critical experimentation. He further demonstrates how Deleuze challenges ideas of identity and the subject that still dominate both political thought and practice today. Connecting Deleuze to key figures in both classical and contemporary political philosophy, from Plato and Aristotle to Hegel, Nietzsche, Lacan, and Foucault,

Thanks for sharing. (Not OP) I am currently reading Plato's dialogues since they're small and easy to digest. I'm warming up to reading. Otherwise I won't be able to finish a book.
Did you read Anti-Oedipus with any secondary reading? I find deleuze fascinating, and extremely relevant for Marxists. I might digest a few lectures while I warm up, then give AO a try.

AO is one of the easiest to read. It was written for French high school graduates so about equivalent to AP or introductory freshmen Philosophy/Psychology. If you have even a little passing familiarity with the basics of Freud Nietzsche Marx Plato Aristotle Descartes Kant you don't need secondary but some joke references to 60's French literature might be kind of obscure as its kind of expected for you to be familiar with the canon.

So basically you know trees? Well what if instead of a tree it was shaped like a garlic or fungus? What if the branches didn't all need to connect back to a central stalk? Okay and now instead of leaves there are words and instead of wood there is meaning. Then go cut down an actual tree and make it into paper and use it to print books filled with the words that were the leaves in the metaphorical tree. That's schizo-analysis.

What am I supposed to do with this when I come up against a word that describes a complex concept? Just highlight it with a question mark and move on?

> In his magnum opus Difference and Repetition, he tries to develop a metaphysics (?) adequate to contemporary mathematics and science—a metaphysics in which the concept of multiplicity (?) replaces that of substance (?), event replaces essence (?) and virtuality (?) replaces possibility (?).


I know what words like multiplicity and substance mean, in part, because I can look up the meaning in a dictionary. But these words have deeper and more complex meanings in the practice of philosophy, do they not? Am I meant to puff my chest out and pretend like I know what they mean? Am I supposed to stop and look up the deeper meanings of each of these words as I find them? Am I meant to read so much and get so much exposure to these words that I revisit this article and finally understand what it means?

Someone described me perfectly the other day: the words simply bounce around inside my skull. It was insulting, but only because it's true. I have no idea how to systematically acquire new information that hasn't already been written in plain and simple language.

I see that AO is apparently more digestible but this is a challenge I continue to face. Should I split this out into another thread?

There's a pretty cool playlist on youtube called Deleuze for the Desperate where a professor tries to give an explanation of some Deleuzean concepts, mainly from A Thousand Plateaus. Can help get your feet wet and guide your focus to read based on what ideas are most interesting or what "clicks" most with your understanding. Deleuzean "schizo" type theory is not really something you need to or "should" read in a linear manner. Approach it as it suits you and absorb the information the way the roots of a plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
