Deleuze is sometimes labeled an anti-phenomenologist. And in fact we find him at times openly critical of phenomenology. This does not mean Deleuze was uninterested in phenomenal appearances. In fact, we might find that he does betterto account for the phenomenality of phenomena. So instead of phenomenology’s motto, “back to the things themselves,” Deleuze would perhaps have us go “back to the phenomena themselves.” Consider how some appearances impress themselves more profoundly upon us, that is, be more phenomenal, like how shocking events are more pronounced than the other mundane appearances of that day. In other words, if we want to account for what it is that makes a phenomenon phenomenal, we might favor Deleuze’s theory, because it emphasizes the differences involved in phenomenal experiences, rather than the similarities that constitute unified phenomenal objects.
