Thought and its outside

The topic of this essay is the relation between philosophy and its outside. This ‘its’ has at least three meanings: outside from philosophy, outside into philosophy and outside of philosophy, up to the most extreme meaning of philosophy as the space of the outside. Placing myself on the margin that joins and disjoins them, I am going to refer essentially to three vectors, two of which are already classics to some extent, while another, more recent one, is awaiting further development. The thinkers I refer overall are Foucault, Deleuze and Nietzsche.
