Manuel DeLanda. Deleuze and the History of Philosophy 2006 1/8

thanks so much for posting these (including greg lynns stuff). its a great source of info, please leave it up!!

EGS is it some kind of cult?

yes. the european graduate school is "some kind of cult" - and its by invitation only. you are welcome.

.....scientists, like one's that read fiction, fall in love or reflect on the meaning of existence beyond the closed language of formalism, would probably disagree with your blatent dogmatism.

But then dogmatic scientists tend - if you'll allow me to employ some psychological terms (be careful, these might imply intersubjectivity and hence be "unscientific") - to be narcissistic, overly sure of themselves, authoritarian, reductionist and, to be frank, closed off from 90% of human experience!

Maybe you could involve them in that 90% of human experience then, or was that an attempt to dehumanise them?

Pretty simple discrepancy here, I think I can clear up the misunderstanding.

Science = philosophical vulgarisation + non-philosophic interpretations.

It comes down to the question: is scientific discourse all there is? Is mathematics and it's derivatives capable of completely explaining human experience. Can it accomadate aesthetics, ethics and legality?

If not, and if philosophy is "not interesting" for scientists then scientists are reductionist and violent. Of course most non-dogmatic.....

Ha, ha, ha. Remarks like that, on a video like this, were sure to elicit hostile responses.
Your remarks do an injustice to what is going on in much of mainstream contemporary philosophy, which I have a feeling you haven't really looked into.

Surely its more than coincidence then that some of the greatest Mathemeticians in history were also Philosophers:
Rene Descartes
Aristotle
Bertrand Russell
Kurt Godel
Pythagoras
To name only a few. Modern Science and Maths stems from philosophical ideas
Philosophaie Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principals of Natural Philosophie) arguably the geatest scientific work ever written, by Isaac Newton, Physicist and Mathematician.
Everything involves Philosophy, naive twat

I like Deleuze but I'm worried that this guy might pace himself to death.

Yes, it's a shame that the original Christian hymn that inspired your comment is based on the worship of a religious martyr, who was SACRIFICED for humanity, isn't it?
