A pura imanência: uma ética deleuziana

Abstract

This work aims to discuss, from the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, what we call as a vitalist ethic that unfolds in pure absolute immanence. Ethics that aims to create affirmative ways of life that maximize the power of thinking and acting within the established meetings without being consumed others. Ethics that rejects any transcendent principle and conceived as a "typology of immanent modes of existence" (Deleuze, 2002, p. 29). From small texts of Deleuze, such as The Immanence: A Life ... (2002b), Immanence Beach (1995) and The Three Ethic (1997), and excerpts from his lectures and books on Spinoza, as well, their joint production with Felix Guattari, particularly in What is Philosophy? (1992) and A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1997a), we emphasize notions that bring into play the relationship between immanence and transcendence. Showing that it is a philosophy of fighting against the transcendentalist tradition that says a universe staircase, which acts by emanations and ranks the men in steep ascents and descents; which ultimately condition the life according to reason, a principle that supposedly transcends life itself. Along the way, we used questions as: how Deleuze articulates what he defines as absolute pure immanence? How can we think an immanence to avoid transcendence? What is the need to think an immanence in and for itself? Why transcendence does not fit for Deleuze? How important is the immanence plan to experiment with affirmative ways of life? What is vitalism stated by Deleuze? How important is the creation of affirmative ways of life? How is composed ethics developed from Deleuze's philosophy? Issues that inevitably relate to our hypothesis: only in the pure and absolute immanence is possible can think and build ways of affirming life, a sovereign life.
