ABSTRACT

In Deleuze's philosophy there are a lot of decrees and terms existed. The philosophy in Deleuze is based on the traditionally western metaphysics and it is derived from the production of various studying fields that he devoted himself to. This thesis is focused on the sexuality and body that Deleuze studied for the representation of problems in philosophy. In order to deal with them, we must discuss his major works, The Logic of Sense and Anti-Eedipus. In The Logic of Sense, Deleuze basically treats the event. The deep pleasure the event gave is an encounter through sense and nonsense of game and event. And the event depends on the way how metaphysics is singularly developed in the western philosophy and how the structure of it is made up in the series of paradox. Deleuze had in mind the event and sense at the same time so that he drew the western philosophy up in its scale. In Anti-Odeipus, Deleuze and Guattari, with their particular point of view, criticized modern civilization and newly opened the horizon for the psychology. Especially, criticizing Freud's psychology, they taught us the line of flight to analyze the cause of human's sexual motivation, desiring machine and nomadic subject. The reading of Deleuze means to learn about the logic of detour and establishing new territory of philosophy. It is Deleuze's philosophy and desire that we can reinterpret the past philosophy into modern sense and open new field where we make new locus of society. Therefore, we can explore the human mind inside and outside and map the line of thought.
