And I do agree that it is of a 'very particular kind', it takes on a sort of pluarist or transcendental quality that rigoriously engages the chaotic and moving nature of reality. Much of what it has to do with, I believe, are conceptualizing relatations as exterior to their terms: no longer keeping the connections tied intrinsically to the terms, and instead accepting the movement and dynamism of the middle. I think that William James would be a great source for seeing another example of this special strain of empiricism with his notion of radical empiricism... chris ---------- >From: Stephen Arnott <sarnott-AT-metz.une.edu.au> >To: deleuze-guattari-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu >Subject: Deleuze the empiricist >Date: Thu, Dec 3, 1998, 9:45 AM > >At 10:52 AM 11/30/98 -0500, Inna wrote: >>What about Deleuze having said in Diaalogues - I consider myself an >>empiricist hence pluralist - or smth like that? >> >> >Sure but his empiricism is of a particular kind.
