Dear Julia,



unfortunately I find my efforts
concerning my  help in the interpretation of Deleuze's
complicated text without an respond.

It is a pity for all possible visitors and users
of this list, that your further work on your questions stay
hidden.

Probably you got to much else to do?

In France is a polemic political discussion in France
on Badiou,  concerning a text the Palestinian Israel conflict.
This is parallel to the publishing of a new "opus magunum" of him.

Badiou has written
has "adapted" Deluzes's philosophy
in the book "L'etre et evenement".


He is a pupil of Lacan
and was at Vincennes and Nanerre at times of Deleuze and is now at the
Sorbonne.

He is looked at one of the master philosophers in France now,
with Rivere and Balibar.




greetings Harald Wenk

Hello Julia,

There maybe some misprints not corrected by
F7 - like "feather" instead of "father".

My answer concerns more than recognition.
What I meant was the neurological struggle
also of faculties (Kant) or abilities.
This is expressed in the Notion of
"Discordant unison" from Axelos,
see the text footnoted in
"Image of thought " (DR page 190 in the original and German translation).
The neurological dynamic equilibrium  disturbed by some
perception of thought,
maybe in the direction of violence,
to get it back, the neruons connected
with the faculties struggle.
The  "I" or some other
inhibitory instance may,
hinder the violent neurons to "go to the whole brain or to action".
So, the transgression at first in fantasy is
due to not good arrangement of the faculties -
cannot be kept in limits.

The recognition in "Image of thought" is twofold,
on the one hand Deleuze says,
error is boiled down to "false" recognition,
recognition being the application of
learned - "school examples".
It is dead recognition,
the image is ready,
you have only to say "right" or "right" - no learning any more.
There is no "problem" any longer combined with it.
That is not so bad for a lot of things,
all being problematic is very hard.

Descartes is referred to in "Image of thought"
as excluding the posing of problem from method,
starting with th er ready made problem - "well posed" as we say in
mathematics
on page DR 207/208 - see also footnote with Descartes there).

As solving problem is a learning,
by solving problems "not yours in your way",
you are "normalized,
creating "common sense".
In learning, is something of the existential logic shines up,
also in mathematics:
To learn a complicated theory
or to solve a complicated
problem indeed changes you,
it is  something "existential" - far away from "recognition".
This is a real problem for math students,
as in that extreme way it is not
so in sciences apart from math.
That is the reason for mathematics being not very popular.

Philosophy would like to be so, therefore Deleuze quotes
Hegel's "Phenomenology" in "Image of thought".
But, producing some truth , whatever, has
in my eyes indeed something "Apollonian",
as it has a good result  - even if restricted in solving
problems already there, including theories  "transcendent"
to the means of solution.
This the real sens, by solving the problems
the means of the solving are produced in the pupil solving it -
accommodating it thus to common thinking.
As I expressed, this goes more deep  in mathematics than elsewhere,
so it is surprising seeing Deleuze  being a fan of Riemannian differential
geometry looking
 from this side.

This has something to do with my email to Mr. hardie,
that we often learn the wrong problems,
"school problems"
"problems we must have",
but not ours.
Contrary to Deleuze my experience,
that in mathematics you learn to
pose problems, also pretty late.
But he attributes something good to geometry and especially to Riemannian
differential geometry - which I know well and like it.

Also he makes an appraisal of Spinoza's genetic method by cause and effect
without mentioning it:
Th only way to comprehend is by the production,
that is by cause and effect.
This is the way Spinoza
describes right thinking in his
"Tractatus improving human understanding" - by "genetic" definitions and
proceeding.

If you like another direction of the discussion, you should write a little
bit more.

Greetings and nice sunday.
Harald Wenk



Th violence itself ist neurological driven,
by neurotransmitters,
at most from alien, mammalian parts of the brain.
