Apr. 24th, 2019 03:20 pmTrue freedom lies in a power to decide, to constitute problems themselves.
..stating the problem is not simply uncovering, it is inventing. Discovery, or uncovering, has to do with what already exists, actually or virtually; it was therefore certain to happen sooner or later. Invention gives being to what did not exist; it might never have happened.
...the history of man, from the theoretical as much as from the practical point of view is that of the construction of problems. It is here that humanity makes its own history, and the becoming conscious of that activity is like the conquest of freedom.
--quoted from Bergsonism, by Gilles Deleuze. 1988.
