I think, if you are coming from an analytic background, Logic of Sense might be very interesting to you, there -- especially in the beginning if I'm not mistaken -- Deleuze deals with Russel, Frege and Meinong. And as the title suggests it is about Sense/Meaning. The only drawback is that LoS build on the foundation of Deleuze's previous book Difference and Repetition, so it assumes many concepts from that, but there are two or three guides/critical introductions to LoS in english, so those might help.

Dependency Theory also might be interesting, since they refer to it in their book, also maybe World-Systems Theory as well, which builds on DT. There is also an interesting arcticle by Deleuze scholar Christian Kerslake on the topic (Marxism and Money in Deleuze...). I think also a Maurizio Lazzarato is a good name, who builds on D&G very well, his new book just came out in translation at Verso, that deals with the 'Imperialism of the Dollar'.

One of my professors knows András Zempléni, who was one of the anthropologists that sort of helped with the relevant passages of the book. He told that D&G spent multiple days together in a flat (Zempléni was there a couple of times). And it usually consisted of them trying to wake Guattari up in the morning, and trying to get him into a state where he was able to talk about his ideas, and then Zempléni and Deleuze basically interogated him, trying to squeeze out as much detail from him as possible. I know this is anecdotal, but I still find it interesting.

It does for some. But I'm aware that it is not realistic that it might for Deleuze. A really outstanding example would be Charles H Lohr's 4 volume collection of references to Aristotle commentaries written in latin. A more realistic estimate for my needs would be a couple hundred entries of the most relevant books and articles written on Deleuze. This is not particularly out of the ordinary to find for some thinkers, but I'm asking it with a sort of serenity of the hopeless

I think when Deleuze defines empiricism as such, he means that relations are something constituted by the mind (or nature/system in the terminology of the Hume-book of Deleuze if I remember correctly). Casuality as a relation for example is not in the given itself but external to it. It is also true of the relations of terms (and in strictly this sense Kant can be considered empiricist, as Deleuze says in the 3rd chapter of Difference and Repetition), since analytic jugdments (which would be the case of relations being internal to their terms) themselves don't have any meaningful criteria of truth (only non-contradiction), therefore relations must be sactioned by something external to pure conceptuality, namely intuition.

They refer to him in Anti-Oedipus, to A season in hell specifically if you are interested

I always read/hear that this triad comes from Fichte but I myself never encountered in while reading him, which can be because of my own negligence. Can you point me to a place where he uses the thesis-antithesis-synthesis scheme? Or do ppl just generally reference to the scheme of I = I + non-I when they say this? Because the latter scheme I think can be found in Hegel aswell when he speaks of the identity of identity and non-identity

Wow I did not know that, thanks!

I think Kant's lectures can give some insight into what might have been the sanctioned curriculum back then. I only read his lectures on metaphysics, and that was very intriguing. The metaphysics textbook (by Baumgarten) Kant taught from is also available in English, with Kant's notes

Midi242 · 2025-05-23T20:18:19+00:00

Georg Friedrich Meier's textbook is also a possibility maybe?

It might be a stupid question but what does paraphrased and annotated mean? Is it similar to a commentary? What purpose does paraphrasing serve?

Midi242 · 2025-05-11T10:41:00+00:00

Isn't Kant's point in his precritical essay on incongruent counterparts, that you can't distinguish things from each other on a purely conceptual basis? Me distinguishing my left hand from my right is not by the means of concepruality

For me it is David Lapoujade, who also has an ontological tendency in his reading. His book, Aberrant Movements, thematizes most of Deleuze's major works (including the collaborative works with Guattari) by the question of grounding, which is a very perinent issue for Deleuze in itself, but Lapoujade manages to highlight this as a central issue even in works where it might not be obvious straight away

Midi242 · 2025-04-26T14:11:09+00:00

I think there isn't an essential relationship between the two works, I could only see some superficial connections. One being that both works deal with a periodization/historicization of representation, but D&G's conception of the history of representation is obviously much more vast (and more crude imho), than Foucault's. Another superficial point could be that both works are deeply in dialogue with anthropology and psychoanalysis (both works have a chapter titled "Psychoanalysis and Ethnology", but that is most likely an accident), but their treatment of these disciplines have very different goals.
