I think a new rule needs to be added to the sticky: you may not post about philosophy unless you simultaneously complain about either continental or analytic philosophy.

>I'd go on about how Deleuze and his ilk severely limit the role of language by searching for percepts and affects alongside concepts, but it's a very difficult subject and I'm not convinced that it truly escapes language, even though it does its best to move focus towards intensities, flows, non-linguistic phenomena etc.

Deleuze does not limit language so much as the anthropocentric shit involved and the structuralist model of signifiers signify signified. He recognizes that when he thinks about something pre-linguistic like the virtual he must do so with language, but he aims to do that better by abandoning that model to instead "palpate" concepts, as I've read it described - that is, using language to poke and prod around a subject which essentially transcends language but can be conceptualized to varying degrees in this way. Needless to say, as he also has a strong (and connected) materialist stance, perception/affect/action of light beams entering your eye ain't got shit to do with language.
