Have you read ‘Empiricism and Subjectivity’? It occurs to me that your enthusiasm for Hume might be by virtue of this particular reading, and seeing as I am moving through Deleuze at the moment, and have some grasp of what is meant when he says that he is an ‘empiricist’, I am eager for further insights on this theme, if you have any.
One concern which runs through Deleuze’s reading of Nietzsche is the differentiation of ‘active’ from ‘reactive’ science: this is Deleuze’s own trajectory when inventing concepts like ‘sense’ and ‘difference’, in pursuit as it were of what he calls a ‘pluralist typology’, in which both the influence of Spinoza and Nietzsche can immediately be seen.
And perhaps also Hume?
