Deleuze, Benjamin

Imanences

Abstract

This essay will approach the thoughts of Gilles Deleuze and Walter Benjamin, authors commonly articulated in different philosophical currents. Therefore, we will seek think about the way in which Deleuze presents an immanent belief in that world, a platform of thought for another critical tradition - started with Espinosa and continued by Friedrich Nietzsche, Franz Kafka, Antonin Artaud and others. Believing that it possible insert Benjamin into this other critical tradition, we will present some benjaminian discussions about an messianic revolution, a mode of revolution concerned with producing an idea of ??earthly happiness. Both discussions, we defend, would share the same bet, a bet on the creative powers innate to men, which can only be recovered when we abdicate any transcendent perspective and adopt a so-called immanent thinking perspective.
