Baruch Spinoza, whose influence is felt in the whole of Deleuze' s ouevre, proves to be the basic figure of his approach to art as well. Gilles Deleuze sets out to formulate a vitalist theory of art, the scope of which requires that the categories of judgement and reception be displaced. This scope situates artistic activity in a generalised creativity, where reception and judgement find their places as points of break and tension which could still be examined within the system of creation.vi, 84 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAffectSpinozadebtjudgement,regimes of singsreceptionB2430.D452 E34 1999Philosophy.Aesthetics.Thesis
