Abstract
Gilles Deleuze had a life-long interest in Kant. To provide a new perspective on Deleuze’s political theory, to facilitate a conversation between Continental and Anglo-American political theory, and to promote a certain way to be Kantian, I track how Deleuze interprets and transforms Kant’s contested legacy (or what I call the Kantian problematic). In this essay, I show how Deleuze reworks four key moves of the Kantian problematic: the identification of the problem, the engagement with common sense, the construction of principles, and the learning of principles. In the conclusion, I contest the thesis – advanced by Paul Patton, Michael Hardt, and Philip Goodchild – that Deleuze views Kant primarily as “an enemy.” My claim, instead, is that Deleuze (like Foucault) cherishes the Kantian critical ethos even as he disavows Kant’s moral doctrines.

Abstract
Gilles Deleuze had a life-long interest in Kant. To provide a new perspective on Deleuze’s
political theory, to facilitate a conversation between Continental and Anglo-American political
theory, and to promote a certain way to be Kantian, I track how Deleuze interprets and
transforms Kant’s contested legacy (or what I call the Kantian problematic). In this essay, I show
how Deleuze reworks four key moves of the Kantian problematic: the identification of the
problem, the engagement with common sense, the construction of principles, and the learning of
principles. In the conclusion, I contest the thesis – advanced by Paul Patton, Michael Hardt, and
Philip Goodchild – that Deleuze views Kant primarily as “an enemy.” My claim, instead, is that
Deleuze (like Foucault) cherishes the Kantian critical ethos even as he disavows Kant’s moral
doctrines.
