This master work analyzes relationship between philosophy and creation developed in the works of Gilles Deleuze. This French philosopher thinks in postnietzschean paradigm. He develops philosophy of becoming, taken from Nietzsche. Deleuze rejects thinking of identity, saying that creation is the first princip, whereas identity is the second. He uses the idea of overturned Platon, so his main purpose is to open new perspectives of thinking. Another aspect of difference is considered with Felix Guattari by model of rhizome, what pressupose an open system in mind and in philosophy, too. Creation in philosophy involves three great aspects: creation of concepts, setting up the plane of immanence, inventing conceptual personae. As Deleuze and Guattari insists, philosophy is not contemplation, reflection or communication, but creation of concepts, that are always new. Concepts a not given; it must be created. Concepts opens and acts onto the plane of immanence, what means that philosophy must act only immanently, without any trancendent pressupposition. The conceptual personae produces the plane of immanence and gives to the concepts their specific force. Otherwise, inventing of conceptual personae shows the relationship between philosophy and experience of philosopher or what mode of existence every thinker invents. Creation in philosophy requires experimentation and good taste. There is no abstract thruth: every thruth is created and acts only immanently. Deleuze and Guattari... [to full text]

This master thesis is inspired by St. Pierre’s post qualitative inquiry and the philosophy of immanence, which support the creation of concepts through immersion in theory, philosophy, and practice. This serves as a guide of thought for the inquirer´s journey of exploration and creativity. This research departures in Latour´s concept of the Terrestrial, enriched by Haraway´s addition to the concept; and in Haraway´s theory of string figures, which is the foundation for exploring how to enact the change that is needed to survive in a world of climate destruction and business as usual. Haraway says that not all humans observe the Terrestrial from above (as Latour suggests) and invites us to go out there and find the people that never took off. For this purpose, I went to Costa Rica and had non-structured conversations with six Costa Rican leaders, who have been working for and with social and environmental causes for years. This inquiry aims to get a deeper understanding of how these stories, combined with the concept of the Terrestrial and SF theory, may help us create new concepts and develop a philosophy of Terrestrial Leadership. From a magic island to banana women, these stories tell us about how these leaders have gone through constant metamorphic processes of inner development, the discovery of their response-ability, the enactment of collaborations, and the politics of staying with the trouble in a chaotic world; in the Chthulucene. Finally, with the help of storytelling, I attempt to offer a first ontological and epistemological perspective on the concept of Terrestrial leadership and how we might benefit from it.
