Introduction to Deleuze: Difference and Repetition

I introduce the thought of Gilles Deleuze through his 1968 book, Difference and Repetition. I look at Deleuze's basic concepts - especially difference, repetition and the virtual; his relationship to philosophers like Spinoza and Kant; and how he provides some of the ontological foundations for other 'poststructural' or postmodern theorists like Foucault and Derrida.
I also look at the relationship between the virtual, the Idea and the multiplicity - all important concepts for understanding the rest of Deleuze's work. This introduction should serve to give a fuller understanding of ideas like the Rhizome, the haecceity and 'lines of flight' that are a large part of his later work with Félix Guattari - a Thousand Plateaus. Most importantly, I try to make understanding Deleuze as simple as possible!

[@AlienFetus]

It was time for this! Deleuze is too relevant not to have good video essays on his philosophy. Just some remarks. Deleuze began conceptualizing an ontology of difference rather than identity, but some may argue that he, after Guattari, somewhat changed that to accommodate the multiple, with a new more pluralist ontology of multiplicity. The same goes to understanding Deleuze as a monist, as some people may argue he got further and further from defending unifying conceptual structures beyond the aesthetic, or that his paradox Pluralism = Monism gave a new layer to his position, that couldn't be stated as a monism as it is commonly understood. And you should have probably used his term "concept" instead of "idea", since they are not equal in his metaphysics. Glad to finally see a good intro essay on Deleuze here on KZbin. Keep it up, do A Thousand Plateaus next!

[@liledman76]

He's right to use idea, since Deleuze bashes "the concept" in this work, before eventually coming back to it in WiP. On the monist point and the change in his thinking, or at least terminology, one of the stranger things is that he gives such pride of place to the concept of univocity in this work, but it entirely vanishes afterwards. I've always puzzled at the changes between his works, ATP unleashes a whole new conceptual apparatus, even if it is motivated by basically the same problems.

[@spiritualanarchist8162]

@@liledman76 I find that ( paradoxically ?) semantics often gets in the way when one tries to describe ATP's work. It could be argued ( in response on your comment ) that Deleuze idea's on 'The concept' becomes a concept in itself the moment one wants to describe it.

[@TheMagicfan77]

This is what a lot of Bundle Theorists have to say on Spinoza's "substance" the act of trying to conceiving of an eternal or an infinite gives it a conceptual boundary that is inherently limiting

[@adaptercrash]

Yes in a function of determinations of your biology contrasted by the multipicities and assemblages who defy the process of his ontology of biological determinations of l in difference. We can do that for you but that's not what I wanted. Metaphysics is old epistimic systems of causality that fall short of proper causality of ontological processes in difference, these systems of metaphysical ontology were deconstructed by Heidegger. I wouldn't say conceptualizing but actual doing by being-in-the-world while at odds with methods of epistimic, metaphysic systems to fully authenticate your biology, as defined in difference within a process of being-towards-death in ontic formations of the ontological of Dasein. In a way it is similar, at least the one I read, various conceptual frameworks, like heideggerian ontology but easier to understand; however he doesn't relate them in forms of reductive processing in various ontology forms (he shouldn't have to,) but defines the concepts rather than demonstrating the emergence of biological determinations within the difference of repetition ontology. The problem of ontology of multiplication is the inversion of difference in the assemblage and possible worlds of the I in its formation after rejected through difference. And difference can be simply refined by a discharge from repetition of a schedule, not eating 3 times a day, or other programs of being have a schedule within' temporal processes that's in repetition within' systems of ontology that are naturally rejected in difference then synthesized into biological determinations of repetition at odds with difference. Truth is irrelevant and knowledge of things is processed after in difference.

It's very strange to me how KZbin is demonetizing so many channels all across the spectrum. People like to assume it's only those of particular genres/content, but that's incorrect. It seems to be impacting nearly everybody on this site (aside from, perhaps, the major corporate channels, especially big media companies). Useful as this site has been, it's not a bad idea to start uploading copies to other video platforms as a back-up or laying the groundwork for a future financial alternative. Just sad to see so many useful channels demonetized for seemingly no good reason.

Bergson - nuff said :)

[@bret6484]

I understand that Deleuze is not concerned as much with the difference between things, but with difference itself. Accidental difference, that is difference between things, implies that things have an essence and that difference is secondary to that. That is Saussure. For Deleuze, each thing is different unto itself before it is different in relation to the other. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that this video doesn't quite do this concept justice.

[@lordtugboat]

Been reading this week Ray Carney's interesting 'The films of John Cassavetes,' in which he links Cassavetes' restless cinematic vision and resistance to fixed identities to American pragmatist philosophers James and Emerson. Based on what Carney quotes, Emerson in particular reads like a precursor to Deleuze. But do you think Deleuze was even aware of these guys?

[@plume642]

Science has many examples of both static and dynamic analysis. Like describing statistically a population in some point in time or describing its evolution along the time. Psychologists develop both an understanding of how someone is and how he could evolve. How is Deleuze analysis different?

Artificial intelligence can help here. We create models of everything, and our models are getting larger. Similarly, our probabilistic relationship models are getting larger too. Moreover the transformer in AI can point the way as well in the way these models generate probabilistic ideas. I tend to think of the transformers output as thoughts like clouds floating by. Moreover, difference and repetition are the meat and potatoes of evolutionary algorithms. I see a lot of similarities in the ideas of philosophy and the science of AI. Mostly it's the terminology that differs.

[@LesterBrunt]

I just started reading Delouze and what I got out of it so far is that there is chaos that is a sort of field that is in constant flux, not static, like white noise is all audible frequencies at once and they are all constantly interacting with each other. A sine wave is a repetition, in white noise there is also that sine wave but to isolate it you need to repeat it over time, it needs to stand out. I can see an object because the light repeatedly bounces of the object instead of moving freely in chaos. When those repeated objects interact with other parts of itself or other objects then you have rhythm, like a flower opening under the sunlight or dozens of muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints working in sync to grab a can of soda. That is what I got out of it so far but I might be off.

On Substance vs. Process metaphysics as the temporal aspect of identity and difference, because quite a bit of people first think "temporal" when it comes to difference, equations in physics formalize the process as a non-changing, formal object, abstracting a being out of becoming, still an equation while blurring the line between process and substance, essence and existence, remains a differential structure and the difference defines its identity.

[@lidocaine7437]

It sounds like you say a difference between two identical things in this video. But, Deleuze's difference is not something like that. His difference precedes identical things. This is why it is called difference in itself. And as difference in itself, it keeps differentiating from itself. It is repetition. It is not a repetition of something similar.

[@theisegeberg]

You mentioned Spinoza and how his view promotes a world full of possibilities, but I'm not sure if I understand why. I always took him to promote the idea that the world could not be any other way than it is right now, since all of nature is determined from the necessity of the divine nature (see P29 from Book I of the Ethics). In Spinoza's world, it seems like there is no room for possibilities.

I'm a bit confused. I seems like things certainly can be the same as one another. At least in phenomenological terms. The differences that go unnoticed and cannot be proven might as well be the same. Funny in writing this I'm starting to get it. There is always difference and sameness, but nothing can be only different or only the same.

I can't reccomend the amazing experience of his Abecadaire, his run through of topics starting with the prompts of the letters of the alphabet.

I love your channel, and thanks for exploring one of my favourite thinkers. His metaphysics, conscious or not, influenced me through my social science degrees. I want to explore more, but I stopped because I need to explore Kant - and as you wrote, Spinoza. But, don't forget Nietzsche and Bergson. Also, Deleuze did critique structuralism, even writing a paper on how we recognise structures. His poststructuralism is definitely deeper than those concerned with language. Your section on the Virtual encapsulates this changing structure, the focus on flows, desire, lines of flight, assemblages, and most importantly, the Rhizome, his image of thought that is different to Aristotle's Tree/hierarchal thinking. The Rhizome has no hierarchy, beginning, end, direction, filled with connections that lead to the Actual (I think reflected in the growth of the rhizome, I.e. mushrooms ect.). What video did you release that led to demonitarisation?

He makes good observations, but unless it can find some application in linguistics, psychology or quantum physics, we are only sure to find ourselves circling back to Plato. In other words, it is fine to look into the structure of existence, but we need to tether these to experimentally quantifiable data. Chomsky made some progress in this kind of application of philosophy to linguistics, but offended Deleuze. I would like to see a linguist who can integrate Deleuzian theory with empiricism.

We believe in endless number of options, but the choice is actually the only option. Either I wiil go on or I will fly away like the pigeon one day! We cannot drive the car without the wheel and only the truth about ourself is the only power that can turn the wheel again.

Sadly the intend of describing the internet in this cas youtube has failed to capture the newness of the characteristic of the internet being 2 way communication and therefore empowering it's user with a direct communicatory platform caracterised by its motivation. The internet or here stated youtube is not just a logic follow on the television. Sources that make you think that are mostly wrong or part of the obsolete one way media camp trying to reclaim their superiority. Things like 'don't believe what you see on the internet" or "fake news" are all in place to denote the one thing that empowers us asa species. And therefore a force to be dealt with by more totalitarian governments. As we see nowadays a step back towards one way communication through the internet as countries like chine (chinternet), middle east and russia, to name a few, are by force instigating a division by region in a concept that claims the opposit, the world wide web! As we can do with mostly anything the internet shows us perfectly the rotten intend governs out of control and elitarianism as a form of control.. Nothing to go light over imo!

this video changed my life, ok not rly, but i think ive found my philosophy

[@bkavoussi]

Excellent introduction to Deleuze. It seems that what Deleuze means by "generalization" is "inductive inference" in the philosophical language.

Was anyone else here uncomfortable by the spots on the dictionary at 2:37?

[@TheOriginalGankstar]

I think history might look back on Deleuze in 100 years time as the most important philosopher of the 2nd half of the 20th century in opening the gate to new ideas... something I'm trying to write about myself. Glad to have stumbled upon this thinker. He probably already said a lot of what I wish to say.

Thank you for making Deleuze not boring every other video was boring

[@raffae4303]

Loved the video. Had a question though. If all acts of thought consist of the repetition of the old and the emergence of the new from difference, does that imply that it is possible at some point for thoughts to solely be constituted by repetitions when differences, or the new, restrict subjectivity?

Thanks. But the graphics get in the way. I also think by it should be longer, to give time to raise and discuss key points.
