Life without Subjectivity: Deleuze, Guattari and Patočka’s Asubjective Phenomenology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

It may appear that Deleuze’s relation to phenomenology is most clearly spelled out in Difference and Repetition or in The Logic of Sense. The aim of this paper, however, is to point out a surprising sim-ilarity between the Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy of vital forces, which is presented in a Thousand Plateaus, and Patočka’s asubjective phenomenology. Where Patočka speaks about three movements of existence, Deleuze and Guattari develop a concept of three kinds of forces that create the composition of life. Both in Patočka and in a Thousand Plateaus a main issue is a consistency of life that is neither based on some substance, nor related to some pre-given subjectivity. Even though Deleuze and Guattari were not familiar with Patočka’s phenomenology, their attempt to grasp life without fundament and subjectivity brings them close to Patočka’s ambition to go beyond philosophical anthropology and analyse the composition of life at the margins of humanity and animality. Moreover, what Deleuze and Guattari have in common with Patočka is their emphasis on our co-existence with others. To put it more precisely, they grasp life as a co-existence. However, this paper does not confine itself to merely accenting an analogy between both conceptions. Rather, it uses Deleuze and Guattari’s view of life as a possible corrective to Patočka’s asubjective phenomenology, showing its potential as well as limitations.
