Schizoanalysis, Rationalism and the Idea of Multiplicity

Abstract

The article examines schizoanalysis as a type of philosophy. The concept of pure multiplicity as crucial for philosophical schizoanalysis is explained and the relations between schizoanalysis and rationalism are discussed. The article also focuces on "the three steps of schizoanalysis" to reveal the concept of pure multiplicity and examines the possibilities of philosophical tradition which is beyond the dualism of a One and a Many. The possibility of applying the concept to the art practices is shown through the project of Relational Aesthetics by Nicolas Bourriaud.
