Spinozist immanence
This current follows capacities and connections before lack or transcendent judgment. Deleuze’s Spinoza studies provide resources for thinking what a singular being can do through encounters.
Conatus and potentia retain their contexts in the Ethics. Desiring-production is not identical with either: the link traces a transformation from historical interpretation to a new research program.
