Abstract
The paper deals with Deleuze's relationship with platonism in the perspective of his conception of truth as becoming. The analyse is inspired by Deleuze's reading of Plato's dialogue Sophist, text in which Plato ruined unwillingly the hierarchic construction of his own ontology.
Deleuze situates the Plato's searching for the truth in the plane of immanence: when Plato stops to use his method of division to appreciate philosopher as a true pretender, and he starts to use it to pursue sophist as a false pretender, he sets out to unknown. In the person of sophist Plato pursues the simulacrum, the semblance, whose being ruins the strict hierarchy of the platonism universe.
In Logic of sense Deleuze claims that, just like Plato, every searcher for truth is roaming in the plane of immanence: the truth found in the "logic of surface" is his own becoming-other. The paper focuses on the reasons why Deleuze prefers becoming to being, on his motivation to ruin the transcendentalist "logic of height" inaugurated by platonism.
