Thanks for the resume! it is good to know that the book is worth to be referenced as an illustrative complement. I am keen to read the book without expecting more thanwhat is meant to be expected of a biography, despite all the winks i may find of in respect with certain anecdotical topics.

I think there is still no Spanish translation of the book, but i will definitely read it when it comes the time. Despite biographies are not quite on my taste i recognize that gossip (specially if its sexual) is an inherent stratagem in all biographies and also the perfect pretext to keep reading unbored. I am very unpatient with this narrative intrigue of gossip-predestination, though i have read some biographies even Werner Ross´s brick on Nietzsche.
But I have to admit that I am not very sure about Dosse: i have read his books on the history of structuralism and i sincerely found an open journalistic tendency to pour authors even though their relation with structuralism was not very clear. It is also to be noted that Didier Eribon criticized this tendency regarding to Foucault. So I feel that Dosse´s motivation on writing the book may be opportunistic: my hunch is to think that he wrote it precisely because he wanted himself to be considered at the same level than Eribon.
To this point i am intrigued on how Dosse is getting to connect all these anecdotes of Deleuze with Deleuze´s work, which is something that might be expected of a biography. i don´t think that this is an easy task because Deleuze always meant to be neat and sharp on how he never excused his work through his life and personal ocurrencies. This might be the reason why Dosse is intercalating both Deleuze and Guattari biographies: as far as i know, Guattari´s adventures and personal issues were never fully isolated from his intellectual or political activities.

The point is that I seriously don`t think that you can hold your accusations sticking strictly to the whole frame of work of this specific authors, and I mean envisioning it in such a way to demonstrate the procedure that you have followed to assert the sense that trend them as idealists or anti-realist.

oh come on, I really can`t match where Foucault holds in such terms what you have asserted, and I feel I have to do so in order to follow closely your presumptions. But if you are going to say that I am trolling this conversation, you can always go back and read my extended comment that i bothered to write as a sign of my good will into the question.

ok, right. thanks for the reminder. but what if someone like me that has shown some of the knowledge regarding to these authors, doubt of yours as I am doing now? Is it not worthy to give an extended and detailed argumentation, not to presume it, that`s a surplus of course, but to show and expose the floss of the reasoning that lead to conclude what you only by now are still holding more as a hunch or presumption?

And by the way, regarding to a healthy objetivification of the philosophical practice, that I somehow mentioned and suggested you to contemplate in my first comment, if you don`t mind:
The Scholastic Point of View
This will help to let know that i was not being uncivil at the end of the day:

Besides, I am afraid that you are not quite following me correctly: where did i suggest “that one can only respect a work or body of work when one refrains from disagreeing with it or critiquing it”? I do think that -for disagreeing- it is needed to know the whole work of an author, at least to be serious,and just as a matter of honesty, so to accomplish the right to speak about it, in favor or against him, mostly if such an author is accused and trended without any elaboration.

“Foucault holds that we can only relate to being in terms of discourse and power, and cannot know anything of being apart from discourse and power.”
Can you say where exactly he says that so? and I mean, exactly in such terms? i.e “holds”, “being” I cant remember where he says that, and i am very familiar to his work. The terms “being” still sound tricky. We really want to read your foucaultian and bourdieuan style. I did so, would you?
