“immanence is itself real, or reality itself. It is nothing other than reality in the making. But this reality is not reducible to actuality: what is actual may be rational, as Hegel claimed, but reality is also virtual, and it is with virtual singularities that philosophy is concerned. As a result, to think immanently is to render thought immanent to reality, to its chaotic becoming, its variations, and its vibrations. It amounts to constructing an image of thought that is not posited in advance, independently of the real itself, and orienting it from the start, but that grows from within the real, or Being.”
– Miguel de Beistegui, Immanence: Deleuze and Philosophy, p. 192
Just flicking thru Guattari’s Chaosmosis and found this cute expression:
‘Neither a Platonic Whole, nor Aristotelian Prime mover, these transversal entities appear like a machinic hyper-text establishing themselves far beyond a simple neutral support for forms and structures, at the absolute horizon of processes of creation. Thus one does not situate qualities or attributes as secondary in relation to being or substance; nor does one commence with being as a pure empty container (and a priori) of all the possible modalities of existing. Being is firstly auto-consistance, auto-affirmation, existence for-itself deploying particular relations of alterity. The for-itself and the for-others stop being the privilege of humanity; they crystallize everywhere that machinic interfaces engender disparity and, in return, are founded by it. The emphasis is no longer placed on Being, as general ontological equivalent, which, in the same way as other equivalents (Capital, Energy, Information, the Signifier) envelops, encloses and desingularizes the process – it is placed on the manner of being, the machination producing the existent, the generative praxis of heterogeneity and complexity. The phenomenological apprehension of being existing as an inert facticity, only occurs in the case of limit experiences such as existential nausea or melancholic depression.’ Guattari, Chaosmosis, p. 109.
It’s excellent to see a new web site each and every once in a while in which isn’t identical outdated rehashed substance. Fantastic go through!
