Abstract

The article explores Gilles Deleuze's early rejection of humanism and embrace of inhumanism, influenced by his engagement with Jean-Paul Sartre's atheistic philosophy in the 1940s. Deleuze's radicalization of Sartre's ideas was shaped by interactions with Catholic historians of medieval philosophy, leading to a unique theoretical direction. The text delves into the intellectual context of the 1940s, highlighting opposition to humanism and the emergence of anti-humanist positions among French intellectuals. Deleuze's early essays and philosophical development are examined in relation to his contemporaries and the broader philosophical landscape of the time. [Extracted from the article]
