  • Nietzsche is dead. However, the nietzschean wink still casts its light on philosophy, art, politics, science and other forms of thought. He is a posthumous thinker, one whose work is entangled in different debates on contemporary philosophy and which exerts a peculiar fascination in many authors. Gilles Deleuze is one of those thinkers who reassumes the legacy of Nietzsche’s hammer, using his thought to produce something new, instead of trying to raise Nietzsche’s concepts as a standard. He uses them as a toolbox rhat enables him to project his thought unto vast territories where he lets “weeds” grow, a “rizome” between both efforts at rhinking. In this paper we will try to outline some points of contact between Deleuze’s philosophy and Nietzsche’s, We will focus on “thought” as a philosophical concept and its function as the creative activity par excellence, characteristic to both thinkers, The Nietzschean view is the kind of philosophy that reaches out naked, without any prior softening, as the Deleuzian one is. Both dance with light feet above the steepest abysses of thought. For them, to think is not to separate, to individualize, to establish the structures of clear and distinct knowledge (as Descartes had claimed), but, primordially, an act of creation with no reference.
