Thanks for the response ;-) There is an affective matter meant to be attended and temperated while reading Deleuze and his conceptual departures.. Do you find yourself refractive to incorporate his ideas, or is it that his scriptural style annoys you?
I like his written style very much. Very much! Deleuze is a great stylist. Check paragraphs like this (from Dialogues):
"I liked writers who seemed to be part of the history of philosophy, but who escaped from it in one respect, or altogether: Lucretius, Spinoza, Hume, Nietzsche, Bergson. [....] They proceed only through positive and affirmative force. [....] These thinkers have few relationships with each other [...] and yet they do have them. One might say that something happens between them, at different speeds and with different intensities, which is not in one or other, but truly in an ideal space, which is no longer a part of history [...] but an interstellar conversation, between very irregular stars, whose different becomings form a mobile bloc which it would be a case of capturing, an inter-flight, light-years."
But I'm not very sympathetic to the fact that he wants to frame his philosophical project in ontological terms. I think it weighs him down.
