Abstract

If Deleuze said that he always felt like an empiricist, it would be another type of empiricism that he was referring to, not to be confused with the region of ordinary empirical forms as they appear under the determination of common sense. It would then be a type of superior empiricism, described by him as transcendental empiricism. We would first have to define what Deleuze calls the “transcendental field” so that we can think about this superior type of empiricism proposed by the author of Difference and Repetition (1968). Here, we would like to situate the apparent paradox of a transcendental empiricism based on the fundamental concepts that constitute the transcendental field and the unfolding that such concepts assume in Deleuzian philosophy, where immanence, intensity, event, and individuation will direct thought in your task of dealing with reality. This is because we believe that the transcendental field is the problem from which Deleuze's philosophy unfolds and through which we can reconstitute the unity of a heterogeneous system, or as he said of a true heterogenesis
