Abstract

ANTONELLI-MARANGI, Marcelo Sebastián. The concept of “practical immanence” in gilles deleuze. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.164, pp.317-341. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n164.51898.

The article presents ‘practical immanence’ as the key to the ethics developed by G. Deleuze on the basis of B. Spinoza and F. Nietzsche. This notion involves three theses that show the unconditional vindication of immanence and the critique of all transcendence: affirmation of the body over consciousness; appealing to the good things and the bad things rather than to good and evil; and the defense of the joy and innocence of becoming. The article argues that this naturalistic and pluralistic ethics is grounded in assessment criteria linked to life as the focal point of appreciation, and suggests the creation of new ways of being as a means to tackle the system of moral judgment on which nihilism is based.

Keywords : G. Deleuze; F. Nietzsche; body; ethics; immanence; life.
