Abstract

PACHILLA, Pablo Nicolás. Common sense and good sense in Deleuze. Valenciana [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.23, pp.139-174. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i23.398.

The concept of common sense is of vital importance in Deleuze’s philosophy, but lacks nonetheless a detailed study. This paper aims to fill that gap, by offering a rigorous analysis of its different meanings and nuances. We will hold that there are three meanings of “common sense” in Deleuze: as the Image of thought, as concordia facultatum and as the correlate of good sense. In the first two cases, common sense conflicts with Deleuzean transcendental empiricism, insofar as it assumes a pre-given thought and imposes a condition of concordance between the faculties; in the latter, it provides the form of an object in general, which will be qualified by good sense. Good sense, in turn, imposes an eschatological temporal determination and a sedentary spatial and ontological determination to sense.

Keywords : Common sense; Good sense; Deleuze; Concordance; Image of thought.
