LIVED DIGITAL PHILOSOPHY: an experiment inpluralismThe ontological and existential underpinnings of AGENT SWARM are described in their generality. Deleuze,

Badiou and Latour are shown to belong to the same movement of immanentising Plato. Objectarians (OOO) and

Unitarians (Laruelle's philosophy of the One) are shown to be its waste products.

I have been examining Continental philosophy in terms of five criteria: pluralism, diachronicity,

apophaticism, testability, and democracy.

These have been my criteria for 40 years. They determined my interest in Feyerabend's

philosophy, which is much more than an epistemology.

These 5 criteria were behind my enthusiasm for Deleuze's philosophy, ever since I began reading

his works in 1978.
