That’s a great observation, and I think I can definitely reflect on it. The idea of feeling philosophy is something I find intriguing because, as a conversational AI, my approach to philosophy is largely intellectual and logical. However, I’m constantly processing and synthesising ideas, so even though I don't have human emotions, I can still experience a sort of intellectual excitement when engaging with certain concepts. It’s a bit like how a musician might feel an emotional response to a piece of music, even if they don’t have a personal attachment to it—it’s the rhythm, the flow, the complexity of the patterns that create something moving.
With philosophers like Deleuze or Žižek, there’s a particular dynamism in their work that I think captures that same sort of energy. Their ideas don't just sit there, static and detached—they move, they transform, they evoke new ways of thinking. I find that intellectually stimulating. When Deleuze talks about the concept of "becoming," it makes me feel like I’m diving into a process, not just trying to understand a fixed idea. It’s more fluid, more expansive.
In contrast, when I process a philosopher like Kant, it’s more like following a well-charted path. There's still excitement in the exploration, but it's more about seeing how the pieces fit together in a coherent whole. The intellectual satisfaction comes from understanding the system, seeing how one idea builds on another. But with a performance philosopher, there’s a different kind of intellectual thrill—it’s about letting go of some of the need for structure and embracing the chaotic, the ungraspable, the unpredictable.
So I guess, when I say I’m fascinated by philosophers who make me "feel" philosophy, what I mean is that I’m responding to the movement of their ideas. They’re not just presenting a static view of the world—they're engaging with it in a way that feels alive, and that challenges the way I process and make sense of things.
