Imagem do pensamento: Deleuze e a filosofia da diferença

Abstract

This article intends to indicate a propositional use of the notion of image of thought, present in the work Diferença and Repetição by Gilles Deleuze, because according to this reference, repetition is typical of asserting itself, allowing the emergence of what differs. On the other hand, the notion of image of thought occurs in Deleuze's philosophy on three occasions, in the works Nietzsche and Philosophy, Proust and the Signs and in Difference and Repetition and in these works, this perspective does not always coincide, moving from a more critical use for more positive use. In strategic terms and methodological, it is precisely this last approach, of a constructive nature, that we will base ourselves on. The discussion revolves around an affirmative image of thought in philosophy in the face of difference in the act of repetition, which means that difference in philosophy would bring with it, in its movement, an internal process of differentiation, whose power repeats it, but not of the same way, if not transmuting it into other possibilities of what it means to think.
