While falling down a YouTube-interview rabbit hole, in an effort to understand Deleuze's more obscure writings, I came across a delightful collection of interviews[א] conducted by Claire Parnet. Presently, I am listening to
D as Desire. Drawing from ideas developed in his early work "Difference and Repetition", Deleuze brings the conceptual tools of limits, differentials, and constructivism to bear on the question of desire.
More than a few times recently, our threads have converged onto the metaphysics[⎐] of differentials and constructivism. Discussions, that at times are free from any particular grounding (in formal mathematics, say) and at others intentionally construed[⍻] in a particular ground (the physicality of hands and muscles). In my *incessant* attempts to formalize, I found the interview inspirational, leading on my naive project to formalize a foundation for my own thought.
[א] Gilles Deleuze's alphabet book: from A (as in animal) to Z (as in zig zag)
[⎐] metaphysics in the sense that difference, say, can be prior to things differentiated.
[⍻] construal like a representative functor or a category of variable quantities.
