Main Article Content

Abstract

The article explores the construction of an aesthetics in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze beyond the period of his work where art (music, painting and cinema) obtains direct attention. According to Deleuze, aesthetics is not simply a disciplinary  zone of philosophy, but is derived from a series of formulations developed from his earliest works until Différence et répétition and Logique du sens. During the sixties, concepts such as genesis, sign or forces, among others, stand out in his work to serve a rereading of empiricism –“transcendental empiricism”– which he understood as an aesthetics. Deleuze resumes the metaphysical imprint of these problems in the eighties to address artistic issues.
