Abstract

The notion of intensity is extremely important for Deleuzian thought, being present not only on the elaboration of his philosophy of difference, but also on his readings of the philosophers which are dear to him, specially on his reconstruction of Spinozism. Deleuze conceives Spinoza’s singular essence in intensive terms. Considering these aspects, this paper seeks to gather elements to show the importance of the notion of intensity to the Deleuzian project of unifying the two senses of aesthetics and the role of Spinozist conceptions for the Deleuzian enterprise. These notes state indirectly another theme: the possibility of elaborating a spinozist Aesthetics, that is Aesthetics attentive to its bodily anchorage.
