13. DELEUZE: An Ontology of Difference and Becoming

This overview profiles the life and intellectual contributions of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, charting his journey from a historian of philosophy to a radical thinker of multiplicity and becoming. The text highlights his rejection of the traditional dogmatic image of thought, which prioritises representation and truth, advocating instead for a flat ontology where philosophy is driven by the transformative power of the event. A central theme is his collaborative work with Felix Guattari, which moved beyond linguistic poststructuralism to engage with heterogeneous assemblages and the material production of meaning. Ultimately, the source frames Deleuze’s legacy as a constructivist project that redefined difference as an internal, affirmative force rather than a mere negation of identity.
