Gilles Deleuze's approach to ethics challenges conventional notions of morality, prioritizing exploration and experimentation over fixed norms. His philosophy invites individuals to rethink their thinking, suggesting that how we live is intrinsically tied to how we think. This therapeutic ethics, influenced by Nietzsche and Spinoza, reframes philosophy as a practice of enhancing life and embracing curiosity, highlighting the importance of living authentically in a transformative manner. By advocating for a way of life that is open and curious, Deleuze's ideas encourage actions that break away from rigid intellectual patterns.
As Michel Foucault once wrote in the preface to Anti-Oedipus, Deleuze's collaboration with Félix Guattari, "Anti-Oedipus is a book of ethics ... being anti-oedipal has become a lifestyle, a way of thinking and living."
For Deleuze, ethics is not moralism but an explorative way of living, focusing on experimenting with ways of thinking rather than adhering to fixed norms.
