Abstract
Deleuze’s philosophical project begins with his reversal of Kant’s philosophy. His unique interpretation of Kant serves as the foundation for his broader ontological framework. Throughout his works, Deleuze consistently connects the concept of truth to other philosophical ideas, often reinterpreting entire systems to reconstruct truth in innovative ways. Yet this reconstruction always unfolds in dialogue with, and in critique of, Kant. According to Deleuze, since Kant’s aesthetics has been marked by an irreducible duality: on one side, it refers to sensibility as the condition for possible experience; on the other, it refers to art as the expression of actual experience. This split produces two competing “images of thought,” which in turn give rise to two divergent conceptions of truth. In the first conception, the faculties naturally and voluntarily orient themselves toward truth, representing it as universal and general. In the second, thought emerges only when external forces disrupt the faculties, making truth the outcome of real experience and the creation of something new. This study explores Deleuze’s account of this dual concept of truth, situating it within his special engagement with Kant, and clarifies how this framework enables the production of the new.
