A serviço secreto de sua majestade, o pensamento: os usos do espaço filosófico, suas implicações, e o papel da arte

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the meaning of the act of thinking and its implications on the possibility of doing or not philosophy. From the exposition of Gilles Deleuze about what the thought is, I try to point out his secret or not formally announced uses. This means that if philosophy creates concepts, it is because they refer to universal problems, meaning, in other words, that they always repeat themselves, responding to the particular needs of each time. If the problem of thought as noted by Deleuze is universal, this work tries to comprehend how philosophical discourses are constructed, either causing the difference or neutralizing the ability that the Other also have to think and create. Hence, even exercised by images (in the case of the art), philosophy as a way to justify the intentions of thought would create double-sided monsters with the retails of its history: both affirming the forms of life and making the existence an unhappy process of recognition.
