Abstract

According to Deleuze, ethics is the art of inventing new
ways of thinking, feeling, desiring and acting in order to organize new collective ways of life that are antihierarchical and non-representative (self-emancipation and self-determination). Following the texts of Deleuze and Spinoza, in this article we propose to contrast morality as a transcendent «system of judgement» and ethics as an
immanent «system of proof», in order to proceed from
there to pose two psycho-sexual political problems: (a) the
possibility of going beyond the representative democratic
State (democratic Imperium) towards an acratic society
or one of crowned anarchy (question for a new social
politics); (b) the possibility of going beyond dominant
sexuality towards a sexuality of univocity of non-human
sex (question for a new sexual ethics).
