Deleuze's philosophy of transcendental empiricism is explored through the lens of free indirect discourse by Koichiro Kokubun, who highlights the influence of structuralism and psychoanalysis on Deleuze's thought. Kokubun argues that Deleuze's philosophy is a response to the limitations of other philosophers and writers, particularly Hume, Kant, Bergson, Freud, Lacan, Foucault, and Guattari. He traces Deleuze's confrontations with these thinkers and shows how Deleuze's philosophy seeks to transcend their limitations and offer a more comprehensive understanding of reality. Kokubun emphasizes the practical ambitions of Deleuze's philosophy, which aims to provide a framework for social and political change. He concludes by proposing a radical revitalization of the political potential of Deleuze's philosophy, suggesting that it can be used to address the challenges of our contemporary world.
