>I read Deleuze as a pragmatist of sorts

D&G are pretty explicit about being pragmatic. Their Anglo influences such as Charles Sanders Peirce or William James fit in that tradition and even those that don't fit exactly were retroactively coopted (like Gregory Bateson). Also Emerson had a significant yet rarely mentioned influence on Nietzsche which explains a few overlaps. I remember a Deleuze translator mentioning that he wants to work on this Deleuze-pragmatism connection at one point, not sure if he followed through.
