god! more nietzsche? really? i should really do table of contents reviews before embarking on new texts. this is nuts. talk about the eternal returns. okay, so maybe he wasn't a total jerk. psych! i don't care if he had a breakdown. you were kicking it with wagner. yeah i'm a whole grudge. i only know that now because deleuze wrote about it here. great. i read this book because i thought he was going to talk about immanence. there's just a dashing of it. maybe if i sit back i can see how his notion of a plane of immanence relates to nietzsche. i'm having a hard time bringing the glossary of nietzsche's metonymic figures relates to the subject-suffused quasi-divine intersubjective immanent all. so i feel bait-and-switched in the wrong way. deleuze's theory of nietzsche is very compelling, and perhaps i judged the book i read a little harshly, since it was written when friedrich had fallen on hard times. i guess. i wanted to read about immanence! maybe massumi develops the ideas more. i understand that the essays were sort of slapped together, but still. i always wanted to read deleuze's nietzsche and philosophy, some day i will...

Ik ben bijzonder onder de indruk van Deleuze als historicus van de wijsbegeerte, hierin gaat hij onder meer aan de slag met Hume maar in het bijzonder met Nietzsche op een productieve en creatieve manier. Nieuwe inzichten worden gecreëerd, ookal is het slechts een kort essay.

Could it be... Deleuze? that I can actually understand? (Hume was the best chapter and I will stand by this until the end of time)

första halvan var i det stora hela rätt tråkig men essäen om Nietzsche var uppfriskande.
