Abstract
(en) [Gilles Deleuze Theological Evaluation]. The interpretation of Deleuze’s philosophy as a redemptive project makes him a suitable candidate for a theological evaluation. In order to lay bare the potential relevance of Deleuze for theology, I firstly focus (from the inside of Deleuze’s philosophy) on the characteristics of this project of salvation. In the second part of this article, I confront Deleuze’s ideas with the project of Liberation Theology. However, I will evaluate his political aspirations as ambiguous : it is not sure whether they will liberate us from the oppressing structures of capitalism. Eventually, Deleuze’s philosophy seems more fit for the vision of a “Western Buddhist” than to a Liberation Theological project.
