Hegel and Deleuze : together again for the first time

Il s'agit des Mémoires de Lafargue témoignant de Marx : «J'ai souvent entendu <Marx> répéter les paroles de Hegel, son maître de jeunesse : Même la pensée criminelle d'un malfaiteur a plus de grandeur et de noblesse que les merveilles du ciel.> [1]

Lukacs reprend la formule dans la dernière section de son livre "Le jeune Hegel" (comme pour réhabiliter Hegel qui passait pour le "chien crevé" de la philosophie). On a sans doute du mal à imaginer Hegel s'engager dans une apologie du meurtre gratuit. Le criminel est évidemment la figure du paria, celui que l'inquisition pourchasse, le révolté dont le Pouvoir se défend et qu'il condamne sous le paravent du Droit comme cela fut le cas des traques, des résistants pourchassés dans l'histoire du monde. C'est l'objet même de mon titre "Une intrigue criminelle de la philosophie -Lire la phénoménologie de l'esprit". Cette idée, on la retrouve évidemment dans la figure de l'esclave dont toutes les morales avait justifié l'aliénation au nom de la charité. Charité des grands s'occupant des incapables, charité magistrale vis à vis d'êtres supposés débiles, sans pouvoir subvenir à eux-mêmes (on retrouve aujourd'hui chez Sloterdijk l'idée de Charité... [2]). Ce sont les "moins que rien" dont les maîtres auraient eut la générosité, l'élégance, de prendre en charge l'existence insane pour pourvoir à leur biens et les prendre sous tutelle.

Devant tant de bêtise, il y a sans conteste une généalogie de la morale pratiquée par le jeune Hegel -d'abord au service des maîtres à Berne qui le traitèrent comme le plus vil des serviteurs. A la différence de Nietzsche qui défend des valeurs aristocratiques (quoique de manière souvent très critiques comme toujours chez lui), Hegel se place du côté des faibles, des offensés (ceux que Foucault appellera "les hommes infâmes). C'est là, sans doute, sa grandeur, Grandeur de Hegel. Il me paraît impensable que Deleuze n'ait pas eu cette pensée au moment où il projetait  d'écrire "Grandeur de Marx". Peut-être même est-ce une des raisons de l'abandon de ce livre, trop contrastant pour relancer la machine à la fin de sa vie [3], et dont Deleuze ne laisse d'ailleurs aucune page, aucune trace (il m'avait dit au téléphone pourtant que le premier chapitre était achevé). Mais cela ne nous empêchera pas d'écrire "et" : Deleuze et Hegel au lieu de Deleuze ou Hegel [4] sachant la force avec laquelle Deleuze a toujours su se mettre en danger...  (philosophe en pleine mer nous revenant avec les yeux rouges)

[3] Au début de "Qu'est-ce que la philosophie?", Deleuze reconnaissait que les grands philosophes sont ceux qui comme Kant sont capables de se mettre en danger en relançant la machine à la fin. C'était le projet de Deleuze, mais sa santé -sa grande santé dans la maladie- n'était plus à la hauteur de cette tâche.

Hegel and Deleuze cannily examines the various resonances and dissonances between these two major philosophers. The collection represents the best in contemporary international scholarship on G. W. F. Hegel and Gilles Deleuze, and the contributing authors inhabit the as-yet uncharted space between the two thinkers, collectively addressing most of the major tensions and resonances between their ideas and laying a solid ground for future scholarship. The essays are organized thematically into two groups: those that maintain a firm but nuanced disjunction or opposition between Hegel and Deleuze, and those that chart possible connections, syntheses, or both. As is clear from this range of texts, the challenges involved in grasping, appraising, appropriating, and developing the systems of Deleuze and Hegel are varied and immense. While neither Hegel nor Deleuze gets the last word, the contributors ably demonstrate that partisans of either can no longer ignore the voice of the other.

Hegel, Deleuze, and the Critique of Representation - Henry Somers-Hall (Suny Press, Usa, April 2012)

A critical account of the key connections between twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and nineteenth-century German idealist G. W. F. Hegel. Hegel, Deleuze, and the Critique of Representation provides a critical account of the key connections between twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and nineteenth-century German idealist G. W. F. Hegel. While Hegel has been recognized as one of the key targets of Deleuze’s philosophical writing, Henry Somers-Hall shows how Deleuze’s antipathy to Hegel has its roots in a problem the two thinkers both try to address: getting beyond a philosophy of judgment and the restrictions of Kant’s transcendental idealism. By tracing the development of their attempts to address this problem, Somers-Hall offers an interpretation of the sweep of nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy, providing a series of analyses of key moments in the history of thought, including the logics of Aristotle and Russell, Kant’s own philosophy of judgment, and the philosophy of Bergson. He also develops a novel interpretation of Deleuze’s philosophy of difference, and situates his philosophy in relation to the broader post-Kantian tradition. In addition to Deleuze’s relation to Hegel, the book makes important contributions to the study of Deleuze’s philosophy of mathematics, as well as to the study of several underappreciated areas of Hegel’s own philosophy.

 “This is the most comprehensive and philosophically interesting analysis of the Deleuze-Hegel relation. Somers-Hall has assembled a remarkable amount of material that is quite diverse—from the problems of representation, judgment, and calculus to those of force and evolution—and his interpretations are masterful. This book will have a significant impact on the way we think about the development of twentieth-century philosophy.” — Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University 


“Somers-Hall’s book is a profound engagement with both Deleuze and Hegel, and it provides a much-needed antidote to interpretations that all-too-quickly characterize Deleuze as anti-Hegelian.” — Daniel W. Smith, coeditor of Gilles Deleuze: Image and Text 


Henry Somers-Hall is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. He is the cotranslator (with Alistair Welchman, Mergen Reglitz, and Nick Midgley) of Salomon Maimon’s Essay on Transcendental Philosophy.

L’ombra di Hegel. Althusser, Deleuze, Lacan e Badiou a confronto con la dialettica (a cura di Gaetano Rametta) - Polimetrica, It, Febbraio 2012

L’ombra di Hegel. Althusser, Deleuze, Lacan e Badiou a confronto con la dialettica (Gaetano Rametta a cura di)

Il presente volume si prefigge di mostrare la vitalità del confronto con Hegel nella filosofia francese del secondo Novecento, scegliendo quattro autori legati da rapporti espliciti di influenza reciproca, affinità nell’impostazione teoretica e talvolta da vivaci discussioni critiche. Il libro ricostruisce una porzione significativa di storia della ricezione di Hegel in Francia, che dai seminari lacaniani degli anni Cinquanta si dipana fino agli anni Ottanta del Novecento: così per la lettura hegeliana di Deleuze, che non sarebbe comprensibile senza la messa in luce della polemica, quasi sempre sotterranea ma non per questo meno radicale, con l’interpretazione di Hyppolite, suo professore alla Sorbona; così per l’intreccio che attorno a Hegel si annoda tra il marxismo strutturale di Althusser e la psicanalisi di Lacan, o tra questi ultimi e il pensiero di Badiou, teso a valorizzare Hegel come base per una nuova teoria materialistica del soggetto.
