Deleuze on the Importance of Kant’s discordant accord

Abstract

We introduce the Deleuzian reading of the role and the power that the imagination and the schematism have in Immanuel Kant’s aesthetic judgement by focusing on the importance of thinking the discordant accord between faculties, as well as, probably, the impossibility of a philosophy of art. How does occur the process that connects sensations and concepts, art and philosophy? By answering this question, we will also highlight Kant’s peculiar position within Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy and his interpretation in La Philosophie critique de Kant, published in 1963. Our case study will be the sensorial movie To the Wonder (2012), directed by Terrence Malick.
