Episode notes
Bergson Frames Deleuze's Temporal Freedom
- Deleuze roots his early project in Bergson's emphasis on time as the ground of novelty and freedom.
- He values temporal creativity over spatialized, deterministic accounts like Einstein's relativity.
Banality, Not Error, Is Philosophy's Enemy
- Deleuze treats banality as philosophy's core problem rather than mere error.
- He prefers surprising, novel thought even if it's formally wrong, because banality kills thought.
Nonsense Can Produce New Sense
- Deleuze prizes productive nonsense and the domain of error as generative for thought.
- He treats the realm of the nonsensical as richer than sterile, banal truth.
