Practical Mysticism and Deleuze's Ontology of the Virtual
Keywords:
Deleuze, Ontology, MysticismAbstract
Deleuze's philosophical method is analyzed and positioned against the background of the intellectual/religious tradition of practical mysticism that has been traveling the globe across times, places, languages, and cultural barriers. The paper argues that Deleuze's unorthodox ontology of the virtual enables a naturalistic interpretation of the functioning of mysticism when the triad of concepts, percepts and affects is formed in accord with the logic of the included middle.
