On the critique of the dogmatic image in Gilles Deleuze’s work
Abstract
The article tackles the critique of the dogmatic image in Deleuze by performing a retrospective analysis of the role in his work of the notion of «image of thought». After analysing briefly its different senses and interpretations used by the author and closing the introduction with an exposition of the fully positive use that this phrase will eventually have for him (that of a semantic foundation required for thought), we step back to the critical and chronologically previous (even though not first) use of this expression. Here, the word «Image» (with uppercase «i») denotes this traditional preconception, common to philosophy and to common sense: that of an allegedly «natural» thought, with the purpose of shedding new light into the main axes around which such Image is structured.Downloads
