When Nietzsche praises egoism it is always in an aggressive or polemical way, against the virtues, against the virtue of disinterestedness (Z III "Of the three evil things"). But in fact egoism is a bad interpretation of the will, just as atomism is a bad interpretation of force. In order for there to be egoism it is necessary for there to be an ego.
Gilles DeleuzeMy eye, my brain, are images, parts of my body. How could my brain contain images since it is one image among others?
Gilles DeleuzeEvaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.
Gilles DeleuzeImages exist; things themselves are images... Images constantly act on and react to one another, produce and consume. There is no difference between images, things and movement.
Gilles DeleuzeThe law is not known, since there is nothing in it to know. We come across it only through its action, and it acts only through its sentence and its execution. It is not distinguishable from the application. We know it only through its imprint on our heart and our flesh: we are guilty, necessarily guilty. Guilt is like the moral thread which duplicates the thread of time.
