Perspectives on Deleuze: Math and Science — Calculus Calculus is the mathematics of the universe, of reality. Calculus does not seek out the question of what is, but instead is focused on when, where and how. It is practical math that is created and works within a field of pure immanence. Calculus imposes no axioms on the universe…

For Leibniz’ cosmological argument to function we first need to establish the principle of sufficient reason. The principle of sufficient reason states that, “For every fact F, there must be a sufficient reason why F is the case.”¹ Or, in other words, everything that exists must have an explanation for…

Hommage à Ivan Illich. Logique du détour Il faut comprendre avant toutes choses l’extrême originalité de la critique qu’Ivan Illich opposait au mode industriel de production.

But let’s begin with the most religious and original way. The original way We may say Leibniz’s explanation begins with “there is a God and he is…
