YEBENES, Zenia. Logics of delusion: the paradox in the philosophical discourse of Kant and Deleuze. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2015, n.34, pp.51-81. ISSN 2594-0619.

This article offers an account of the emergence of that kind of paradox that is the antinomy in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, and in Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition and Logic of Sense. Kant and Deleuze show two different applications of the paradox in philosophical discourse. For Kant, the contradictions indicate the irreducibility of the limits of experience and the strict regulatory nature of the ideas that avoid the dangers of metaphysical delirium. For Deleuze the Idea is the unconscious of thought and the paradox let us see that the principles of identity and contradiction are side effects and derivatives of the production of meaning.

Keywords : representation; limit; sense; delusion; unconscious.
