Deleuze and Spinoza: Practical Philosophy and Process Ontology

[@epochphilosophy]

Hi, everyone! Thanks so much for watching! As always, I truly could not make these videos without Patreon and KZbin Members. These videos take a ton of time and resources to create, and direct support from you is exactly how I am able to do it! Consider pledging a few bucks a month to keep this going! Give early access, discord access, editing tutorials, etc. If so kind, pledge here: www.patreon.com/epochphilosophy

[@TheJayman213]

oh no, did you mean to say descartes at 6:58? D:

[@epochphilosophy]

@@TheJayman213 Nope. That's supposed to be Spinoza. Spinoza doesn't reject a distinction between mind and body, just doesn't see them truly separate as Descartes.

[@masteroftheart5548]

I was drawn in because I think of myself as a Spinoza fanboy and am now going through all of your videos. This channel is a fantastic find.

[@DiamorphineDeath]

This is fantastic; I ordered Deleuze’s text on Spinoza the other day, and have a copy of “theological-political treatise” sitting in my bookshelf....never interacted with him before, so stoked to start digging into it. Thanks again for the video dude

[@epochphilosophy]

Very kind comment. Thanks a ton!

[@apop_tosis]

Many times "phil. youtube" is filled with bad interpretations of many authors ideas and arguments, but certainly this is NOT the case. Awesome video!

[@epochphilosophy]

I've noticed a lot of KZbin regarding philosophy seems to be 'pop-culture' philosophy if that makes sense. If it's not, it tends to be really dull, dry, non-inspiring slideshow videos lol. Which are great, but I'm hoping to bridge the artistic video gap with something that actually delves into core ideas.

Everyone and by everyone I mean everyone should read Spinoza . He is the greatest to ever do it . Read the whole book and you will see how he anticipates subsequently majority of modern academia .

[@danzo1711]

In which ways does Spinoza anticipate modern academia?

[@danzo1711]

@Mustuffa _CIV9_9 There's truth to what you say here. While I wouldn't characterize Spinoza's philosophy as cheap, it's important to understand, as you have pointed out, that Spinoza is a rationalist and mystic, very much like a Neoplatonist. His philosophy has very little in common with contemporary philosophy.

[@pradyumansingh7575]

The way you truly bring forth the essence of what makes these ideas so profound through your visual effects and music is absolutely incredible. Thank you for not only bringing philosophy to us in a digestible manner, but also for making it interesting, captivating, and enthralling.

[@epochphilosophy]

Thanks a ton. Such a kind comment. Never thought about it in terms of 'essence' but that makes sense. I try to make it as artistically captivating as possible.

[@innate83]

Whether intentional or otherwise, I find it ironic that the common background throughout the video (floating particles over a black background) resemble the glass dust that would ultimately lead to Spinoza’s death.

The art of trying to understand (and not moralize) really is that, an art. Or it atleast requires it. And/or an art that takes a ton of practice. Makes life a lot better though. I think we owe a debt to Deleuze for this.

[@mytruth1st]

The magic and sorcery of word casting, spelling unveiled reflects the Natural law, cosmic law, universal law of also plagiarised Hermetic principles all saying the same things when unpacked I feel in the addition of generative force which being the 8th principle. ALL is mind, UNIverse is mental, ALL(substance, infinite and immutable) is all (aptitudes, modes, finite and mutable) but all can never be ALL, DaVinci is the Mona Lisa but the Mona Lisa can never be DaVinci as an analogy . Spirit mind circuit we are all connected. Hegel in affect of his dialectic is observed in the decline of our civilisation by the tyrant and priest projectionist .

[@memyself4852]

was ontology really considered dead? Cybernetics brings up plenty of new ideas in process philosophy - is Deleuze really the first guy to have explored that? I've been thinking about the implications of cybernetics for ages, I assumed it would be well-worn ground in academia by now.

[@orangejuice1838]

Great video! One thing I don't understood about Deleuze was this (maybe someone can help): Deleuze embraced Spinoza's immanence, but starts to differ from Spinoza when he claims God is of the modes. At the end of Difference and Repetition he says to "Turn the modes around." It seems that he is turning against the unity of Spinoza's God in favor of Difference? I'd appreciate if someone could help. (Again great video and the editing was amazing!)

My problem with mainstream faiths is that they put 'god' in some unknowable place. While philosophers such as Spinoza, Adi Shankara, meister Eckhart, and Ibn Arabi (Jewish, Hindu, christian and Muslim) all said Look! God is in everything you see! And you are a part of that! It's beautiful to realize this in ordinary, daily life actually. It gives life so much more meaning.

1:40. Right from the gitgo, I find it telling that evolution is never brought into a consideration of "What is a Tree?" Why is Evolution so rarely brought into these discussion of "What is real" or the 'consciousness question', etc.? Can anyone help explain that for me?

[@masteroftheart5548]

I really think if anyone tackled this question of evolution in discussions of what things are it’s Deluze. His theory of identity via repetition and imperfect repetition I think incorporates this struggle. I would recommend the channel Then and Now who did a very good introduction to Deluze that I think addressed this.
