Hegel after Deleuze and Guattari : freedom in philosophy and the state
In the thesis I explain why an immanent approach in philosophy means taking contingency to be ~irreducible~. I show why Deleuze and Guattari believe this to be the case and why they think Hegel fails to do this. I then go on to show in what way Hegel incorporates contingency into his system and how he also creates his own sense of ~necessity~ that emerges from the systematic treatment of contingent concepts. In this way I show how Hegel can respond to the demand for immanence made by Deleuze and Guattari. I suggest that freedom, for Hegel, consists in the systematic treatment of contingency in our lives and in our thinking.
