ABSTRACT
In his essay “The Earth Does Not Move”, Husserl attempts to ground an experience of the earth that he considers more fundamental, as it is subject neither to movement nor to rest. Doing so, Husserl neutralizes modern science’s experimental method in favor of an immobile “ground” (Boden). Deleuze and Guattari, on their side, present a “geophilosophy” where the earth is affected by chaosmic forces free with regard to the hylomorphic model, which implies a perfectly organized whole with a nervous system that links all parts. After establishing similarities and differences between Husserl’s geostatism and Deleuze and Guattari’s geodynamism, I will discuss certain advantages of the latter, which suggests rethinking the relationship between the earth and the universe, and will give consistency to the idea of a “deterritorialized Earth” that is “not only a point in a galaxy, but one galaxy among others”.
