[This chapter centers our reading of Deleuze’s contingent (ir)rationalism and on this basis responds to the contemporary Cartesian tendencies in philosophy that build their critique of Deleuze around a negligence of the essential contingency in his philosophical system. Although this line of thought initially brings us to Alain Badiou, but I prefer to discuss two of Badiou’s disciples, namely Quentin Meillassoux and Ray Brassier, who made more clear confrontations with Deleuze regarding our discussed issues. Particularly, I respond to an accusation that they both charge on Deleuze, namely a spiritualist account of vitalism. I try to explain how Deleuze’s contingent and (ir)rational vitalism cannot and should not be considered a continuum of conscious reasoning and subjectivity. This takes me again to Deleuze’s reading of Leibniz’s principle of reason, but this time I focus on his book on Leibniz, namely The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque.]
