Deleuze's Process Philosophy | The Ontology of Difference, Repetition, and Creation

In this lecture, I explain Deleuze;s key contributions to philosophy, and ontology more specifically, by explaining Deleuze's formulation of process philosophy. I will frame this discussion by contextualizing Deleuze's thought with those of Parmenides, Duns Scotus, and Heidegger, in order to explain how Deleuze's ontology is able to answer this simple yet fascinating question: how does change come about? Enjoy!

I've been working through D&R as well as trying to watch videos about it trying to better grasp.
I could definitely use some clarification. Am I understand that Difference is Difference from itself by differienating itself from itself? And because of process of particularity (roughly speaking), each difference is uniquely different in such that the Repetition for itself comes from the fact that it is Difference from itself? and because repetition is never repetition of the same, things are only repeated in that they are repeated differently?
In the example of A, and "repeating" by going AA, A is not the repetition, but the addition of a 'new' A causes the original A to be different from itself, forming the AA and the A and A difference, which is then seen as repetition as difference without concept? As AA is wholly different, yet repetitious, from the original A?
I could be completely off.
I want to thank you for covering these materials. I have been following your channel for a little while and what I love most is that you seem to have an innate passion for Deleuze and philosophy. It is much easier to be excited about things I do not understand when it seems the other person also feels excited

Your explication of Deleuze’s thought is exactly what he’s expressing. Repetition is only ever repetition of difference. It connects to the refrain in interesting ways because of course the refrain is a repeated thematic line, but just like A, even when it is “repeated”, it comes back as different insofar as it is contextualized and surrounded by new things. Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot :)

@@PunishedFelix Thank you!

i read difference and repetition a couple of months ago and this really helped piecing some things together, like the eternal return of the same

[@gavinyoung-philosophy]

I’m glad!

[@Logic_Bum]

Thanks - your lecture was well-structured, clear, and very helpful. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos on D&R and D&G.

[@gavinyoung-philosophy]

Thanks a lot! Means a lot to me :)

Didn't he write this a his master's thesis when he was 20 or something. Just interesting that his most important work was his pre d&g stuff.
I've got to say this is the book that resonates with me the most.

[@gavinyoung-philosophy]

Indeed he did, although he wouldn’t have been 20 when he did his masters ;) It’s quite fascinating to imagine how intelligent he was at such a young age though.

i'm often astounded by how much under represented is the rather reasonable opinion that deleuze is full of manure...
