Nietzsche and Philosophy was a challenging read, but ultimately provided a good background on Deleuze’s philosophy. Here, you see a peak in Deleuze’s ethics — which is also a Spinozian ethics of forces. Deleuze’s ethics is anti-moralistic, and is instead an ethics mapped as a typology and topology. Which is to say, his ethics (as well as Nietzsche’s) isn’t ordained by God, but is what man comes to post-God. Deleuze’s readings of the Eternal Return, Ressientiment, and Bad consciousness are primary here.
