Gilles Deleuze

CORE QUESTION

How can difference escape the rule of identity, and how can repetition become a power that produces the new?

02

CONTRIBUTION

This philosophical work grounds the actual–virtual relation, syntheses of time, image of thought, and becoming. Sheets of past, peaks of present, and crystalline relations in the Cinema books acquire their deeper temporal background here.

03

READING ROUTE

Begin with difference, repetition, and the virtual, proceed to the three syntheses of time, and return to crystal-images and cinematic forms of past and present to see philosophy recreated by shots.
