Militant Philosopher: Deleuze and Guattari
Ryan/Aless
Ryan is the one who flirts with power. A megalomaniac, he is a firm believer in philosophy, admires the great men of history, and assumes leadership role for the good and the many. Aless, the free spirit, thinks that everyone is better off if they were left alone. A skeptic + cynic, he is hesitant to act (or even say), sets no standard on himself but, "As long as I desire . . ." Ryan (the constructor) is an agent while Aless (the critic) is part of an emergent structure. Ryan deals with the molarities (~ does the dirty job) (+ compromises with the Law) that Aless (- who desires singularly) cannot, systematizing (sacrificing nuances) Aless’s practice, trying to effect some contingent goal. Aless checks Ryan’s ambition, cautioning him about power’s intricacies. Ryan is the Marxist, Aless the Nietzschean. Together, they are gay. Ryan is a real (material, historical) person. He is an aspiring/frustrated philosopher/theorist. Aless, like Ryan's writings, is a creation. He is the artist/anthropologist/revolutionary. The / are the multiplicities between and beyond, where I am. "We exist in the Real, but (because of the Symbolic) live in the Imaginary."
