Deleuze, a imagem do pensamento e a reversão do platonismo: uma política nietzschiana

Abstract

The theme of the image of thought in Deleuze is constant throughout his work, even when it’s it appears under other nomenclatures, and is connected to different problems at stake in his intellectual trajectory. Along with this, the project of reversal of platonism is an important reading key to understand the interests and developments of deleuzian thought, the two concepts being formulated and presented based on Nietzsche’s influence on his philosophy. In this work, we seek to show how nietzschean thought contributes to the construction of these two central concepts for Deleuze, allowing the deployment of a philosophy of difference through a deep criticism of the representational thought. To this end, we consider as central at least three works from the so-called first phase of deleuzian philosophy, where the author exposes and deepens the main questions surrouding the image of thought and the reversal of platonism as concepts originating from nietzschean thought: Nietzsche and the philosophy, Difference and repetition and Logic of sense. For Deleuze, only a new policy of thought can be able to effectively reverse platonism, and Nietzsche is his main mentor in the continuation of this philosophical project
