Deleuze and the theatre of philosophy

Dramatización, minorización y perspectivismo

Abstract

The theatricalization of the philosophical investigation finds one of its earliest Deleuzian developments under the thematization of the very form of the philosophical questioning, that is, about the way the philosopher makes (and asks oneself) the questions. A displacement from the essence to the view, of clearly Nietzschean inspiration, extends along the entire work of Deleuze from the genealogical distinction of the idea, the drama and the concept in Difference and Repetition, to the philosophical characterization of the plane of immanence, the conceptual personage and the concept in What is Philosophy? A true Theatrum Philosophicum, in any case, as Foucault anticipated in 1970, in which one of the main Deleuzian battles occurs for the conquest of an antihistoricist exit for philosophy. A theatre of operations, anyway, about which we will try to show through the changes, the essays and the proper improvisations of an incomparable work, what it has uniquely and decisively for the very idea of what thinking means.
