Este artículo intenta presentar una visión crítica de dos derivas o contrucciones teóricas sobre la multiplicidad, que toman como punto de partida la concepción deleuzeana de la misma. La primera de ellas, la trazada por Alain Badiou, es una deriva matemático-reductiva, que intenta, falazmente, presentar a Deleuze como un pensador de lo Uno. La segunda, la trazada por François Laruelle, aunque fallida en cierto sentido, es una deriva ontológico-creativa, que a modo de un salto hacia adelante, no pretende una sustitución de la teoría de Deleuze, sino, contrariamente a Badiou, ha de entenderse como un intento de un “ir más allá de” fabulador y creativo. Ambas derivas terminan enfrentadas abriendo una polémica que atañe, en última instancia, al estatuto de la filosofía y su papel en el momento actual
This paper attempts to present a critical view of two theoretical drifts or constructions about multiplicity, which take as its starting point the Deleuze’s conception of the same. The first one, the one drawn by Alain Badiou, is a mathematical-reductive drift, which attempts, falsely, to present Deleuze as a thinker of the One. The second, the one drawn by François Laruelle, though in some sense unsuccessful, is a ontological-creative derivation, which as a leap forward, does not seek a substitution of Deleuze’s theory, but, contrary to Badiou, has to be understood as an attempt of a “going beyond” fable and creative. Both traps end up confronting one another by opening up a controversy that concerns, ultimately, the status of philosophy and its role at the present time.
