This is what the focus on movement/becoming/ event does in D's work: it forces us to give up the inside-outside distinction in precisely this sense. D/G List, It strikes me that on the occasion of Rene Descartes 500th Birthday at the end of this month, we might dig in a bit on the issue sited above. I found it most important (as a Heideggarian) that Deleuze is as interested in overcoming the dualism that our dear Rene has befostered. It is the main point that led me to understand the Liebnitzian association of soul with differential calculus. (Le Pli, chapter on perception) and invevitably his radical materialism. stephen perrella Columbia Univ. ------------------
