The “privilege of thinking”: an essay to interpret

Abstract

Consideramos neste artigo uma forma particular da “batalha de idéias” que diferenciamos de outras formas de confrontação aberta, como a refutação. Trata-se de uma modalidade mais sutil, que procura incidir nos pesos relativos dos componentes teóricos de certas concepções. Associamos esta forma da produção teórica com a crítica materialista, o que nos permite conectar os esforços teóricos de Espinosa e de Marx, e também arriscar uma interpretação de uma tese polêmica – relativa ao privilégio do atributo pensamento – que Deleuze elabora na sua leitura da Ética.We consider in this article a particular form of the “battle of ideas” which we differentiate from other ways of open confrontation, as the refutation. It has to do with a subtler modality that tries to meddle in the relative weights of the theoretical components of certain conceptions. We associate this form of the theoretical production with the materialistic critic; this allows us to connect Espinosa’s and Marx’s theoretical efforts, and also to essay an interpretation of a controversial theory – relative to the privilege of the attribute of thought – that Deleuze elaborates in his reading of the Ethics
