I'm not asking about the writing of Neitzshe, Heidegger, nor Leibniz.
There was a claim that Deleuze's writing is difficult, which I assume to have meant on top of the normal difficulties of working out the cogency of philosophical arguments. Otherwise the response would have been "philosophy is difficult," rather than referring specifically to "Deleuze's world."
- thanatropism 9y agoWell, Deleuze uses words that sound exciting and already have commonsense language connotations (rhizomes! lines of flight! war machines!). This has the effect of attracting intellectually curious persons but also putting some intellectually mature people off. Then, Deleuze is misused a lot. But so is quantum theory.
