    No Central, Principal Root - Only An Immediate, Indefinite Multiplicity

    Uploaded by

    Jake Hawkes
    This document discusses Gilles Deleuze's views on books and knowledge. It summarizes that for Deleuze, the ideal book has no subject or object, but is made up of various formed materials inseparable from how they were created. Deleuze critiques classical books for doubling as a mirror of the world that presumes unity to create dichotomies, failing to grasp true multiplicity as seen in nature which has multiple, lateral, and circular connections rather than binary logic that still dominates science.

    Deleuze:

    - ideal to reach the point where not important whether or not say “I”

    - book has neither subject nor object, made of various formed matters, inseparable from the
    method of their making

    - classical book: world-tree, signifying organic interiority - doubles the world - produces this
    doubling, in setting itself up as a mirror - does not reflect it

    - must presume a strong unity to arrive at dichotomy - cannot grasp multiplicity

    - whereas in nature multiple, lateral, circular ramifications.

    - “binary logic and biunivocal relationships still dominate” most science

    no central, principal root - only an immediate, indefinite multiplicity
