Résumé :

In their latest work, Deleuze and Guattari invent “geophilosophy”. With this expression, they intend to give philosophy a new orientation by inscribing it in its terrestrial and territorial dimensions. The first sentences with which they introduce it are eloquent: ‘Subject and object give a poor approximation of thought. Thinking is neither a line drawn between subject and object nor a revolving of one around the other. Rather, thinking takes place in the relationship of territory and the earth’ (Deleuze and Guattari, 1991: 85). In this lecture, I’d like to follow the genesis of this geophilosophy, show its main features and trace the way in which it finds a new relevance in what B. Latour has called “The new climate regime”.
