About the book >.>.> The annals of official philosophy are populated by “bureaucrats of pure reason” who speak in “the shadow of the despot” and are in historical complicity with the State. They invent “a properly spiritual… absolute State that… effectively functions in the mind.” Theirs is the discourse of sovereign judgment of stable subjectivity legislated by “good” sense of rocklike identity “universal” truth and (white male) justice. “Thus the exercise of their thought is in conformity with the aims of the real State with the dominant significations and with the requirements of the established order.” Gilles Deleuze was schooled in that philosophy. The titles of his earliest books read like a Who’s Who of philosophical giants. “What got me by during that period was conceiving of the history of philosophy as a kind of ass-fuck or what amounts to the same thing an immaculate conception. I imagined myself approaching an author from behind and giving him a child that would indeed be his but would nonetheless be monstrous. (SP)
