Chaosmosis Quotes

“La máquina habla a la máquina antes de hablar al hombre.”
― Félix Guattari, Chaosmosis: An Ethicoaesthetic Paradigm

“We can clearly see that there is no biunivocal correspondence between linear signifying links or archi-writing, depending on the author, and this multireferential, multidimensional machinic catalysis. The symmetry of scale, the transversality, the pathic non-discursive character of their expansion: all these dimensions remove us from the logic of the excluded middle and reinforce us in our dismissal of the ontological binarism we criticised previously. A machinic assemblage, through its diverse components, extracts its consistency by crossing ontological thresholds, non-linear thresholds of irreversibility, ontological and phylogenetic thresholds, creative thresholds of heterogenesis and autopoiesis.”
― Félix Guattari, Chaosmosis: An Ethicoaesthetic Paradigm

“La dévaluation du sens de la vie provoque le morcellement de l’image du moi: ses représentations deviennent confuses, contradictoires.”
― GUATTARI, Chaosmosis: An Ethicoaesthetic Paradigm

“The play of intensity of the ontological constellation is, in a way, a choice of being not only for self, but for the whole alterity of the cosmos and for the infinity of times.”
― Félix Guattari, Chaosmosis: An Ethicoaesthetic Paradigm

“A zone of self-belonging needs to exist somewhere for the coming into cognitive existence of any being or any modality of being. Outside of this machine/Universe coupling, beings only have the pure status of a virtual entity.”
― Félix Guattari, Chaosmosis: An Ethicoaesthetic Paradigm
