ABSTRACT

“We never know in advance how someone will learn: by means of what loves someone becomes good at Latin, what encounters make them a philosopher, or in what dictionaries they learn to think”, considered Gilles Deleuze when analysing the eighth postulate in the work Difference and Repetition. Learning is one of the most important topics today. How does one learn? It is also a philosophical subject of the first order. Deleuze also considered that “To learn is to enter into the universal of the relations which constitute the Idea, and into their corresponding singularities”. If the Idea is, in turn, a system of differential relations and singularities corresponding to the degrees of variation of these relations, then learning is to conjugate the remarkable points of a subject with the singular points of the Idea to form a problematic field. In this sense, our objective is to investigate learning as the constitution of a problematic field of ideas based on the notion of rhizomatic learning.
