Give me the TL;DR on him.
Anonymous 17-07-21 08:14:43 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.
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/deleuze/ Just do it, anon. Deleuze himself said that you should jump right into Anti-Oedipus even if you have no background in philosophy.

>>6472 Read Jon Roffe's
The Works of Gilles Deleuze I: 1953-1969 . v02 is set to come out whenever. Avoid Brian Massumi and any secondary lit derived from him as much as you can.

>>6472 Recently found this podcast. Really good shit.
I love Deleuze even though I haven't read anything by him. Really interesting shit that I feel push the boundaries of thinking in a similar way that Hegel and Marx do.

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,

Just read Anti-Oedipus at the very least
Also a bunch of his seminars have been translated into English online, if you already have knowledge of some of the philosophers he discusses

>>12437 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.

>>6473 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?
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?

>>12564 Look it up on the intrawebs
"What did so and so mean by such and such"
fairly simple
do this when encountering them, or at the end of a chapter when revisiting - either way make it systematic and habitual
you'll get the hang of it
Deleuze for the Desperate Anonymous 14-03-23 14:08:55 No. 12624
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.
