How can a thinker of the heterogeneous be integrated into an overview presentation that, according to its objective, must rather suppress disparities and paradoxes than emphasize them? If one were to adhere to Deleuze's own instructions, one would have to start in the middle, explain less, and repeat more intensely, shifting the strange into the even stranger. Michaela Ott approaches the "conceptual person" Deleuze by tracing the field of thought constructed under this name in the movement of his readings, in the repetition and differentiation of fundamental assumptions and value judgments, and shows how Deleuze gradually incorporates plans of thought from literary texts and semiotic analyses of painting and film into the field of philosophical concept development.
