Key concepts for the articulation between Life and Being in the ontology of Gilles Deleuze.
Keywords:
Ontology., Univocity., Ethology., Plane of immanence., Life.Abstract
The objective of this paper is to establish, in general terms, what Deleuze's conception of life is, mainly by reading the class of January 14th 1974, dictated by Deleuze at the University of Vincennes and the class of March 24th 1981, pronounced by him also at the same university. In these classes Deleuze introduces a proposition that extends throughout the Middle Ages, including the seventeenth century, which poses a problem regarding the nature of Being. In this regard, we will try to establish what was the origin of this notion in the writings of Spinoza. Although Deleuze rejects the deep approach of the philosophical traditions on the subject, we will make a brief introduction about the unjust, univocal and analogous perspectives, to show that Spinoza discovers, as Deleuze (2008, p.493) considers, a new sphere of Being. The Spinozean ontology will appear here as the only one in a rigorous sense (Deleuze, 2008, pp.69, 483).
Throughout this work we will try to account for the multiple elements that make up life as a plane of immanence. In this regard, we will try to corroborate that this plane of immanence is necessarily identified with an Ethics.
