Gilles Deleuze on Variables - Dictionary of Arguments
Sokal I 183 Variables/Deleuze/Guattari/Bricmont/Sokal: (G. Deleuze, F. Guattari,1991(1): "The respective independence of the variables appears in mathematics if they have a higher potency than the first one. Hegel therefore shows that the variability in the function is not limited to values that can be changed (2/3 and 4/6) or left undetermined (a = 2b), but requires that one of the variables assumes a higher potency (y²/x = P). (Deleuze/Guattari 1991/1996(1), p. 141.) SokalVsDeleuze/SokalVsGuattari/SokalVsHegel: this sentence repeats a confusion by Hegel who saw fractions like y²/x as something fundamentally different than fractions like a/b.(2)(3) 1. G.
