Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the evaluation made by Gilles Deleuze of the transcendental philosophy of Kant. According to Deleuze, the Kantianism is essentially ambiguous, for at the same time that it inaugurates an immanent critique, Kant does not carry it to the end. In order to explain the Deleuzian diagnosis, it is initially intended to demonstrate how the problem of genesis constitutes the basis of all its argument. It is a question of retaking the post-Kantian debate circumscribed by the French commentators that Deleuze himself follows, such as Guéroult, Delbos and Vuillemin. In a second moment, having as main object Difference and Repetition (1968), it is a matter of following the ambiguity attributed to the Cogito and the Idea in Kant's thought to finally indicate the directions of Deleuze's rupture with the transcendental philosophy.
