FERREYRA, Julián. Hegel and Deleuze: philosophies of nature. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.1, pp.91-123. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.18800/arete.201701.004.

Beyond their differences and conceptual tensions, Hegel and Deleuze share the effort to conceive a Philosophy of Nature that distinguishes itself from the scientific knowledge of their time - with which they nonetheless relate. This paper follows the order of exposition of the section "Organics" from Hegel’s Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in order to relate it to three chapters of A Thousand Plateaus, by Deleuze and Guattari. Thus, the geological nature, the vegetal and the animal are each confronted to "the geology of morals", the rhizome and the animal-becoming. As a result, the supposed chaotic Deleuzian standpoint reaches a progressive ontological determination where the actual forms gain significance, while the rigid great chain of being that often conditions the Hegelian perspective makes room for the anomalous and the singular.

Keywords : Deleuze; Hegel; philosophy of nature; great chain of being; becoming.
