VINCI, Christian Fernando Ribeiro Guimarães. BETWEEN THE PUBLIC TEACHER AND THE PRIVATE THINKER: THE FIGURE OF THE MASTER IN DELEUZE. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.4, pp.1018-1035. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i4.8650025.

Gilles Deleuze paid special attention to the concept of learning. Conceived as an involuntary process initiated by a violent encounter with heterogeneous signs that lead us to think, the deleuzian notion of learning seems to grant no space for any figure imbued with professorial authority. Learning, in Deleuze, would be presented as an immanent process which, in theory, would dispense figures such as those masters or teachers. Nevertheless, in several moments of his work, the french philosopher defended the importance of having masters or teachers. In order to elucidate this apparent contradiction, this article will try to think how the figure of the master coexists within the notion of learning forged by Deleuze. To do so, we will rescue the Deleuzian distinction between the public teacher and the private thinker, taking them as triggers to think the figure of the master. We believe that distinction, as opposed to Immanuel Kant's notions of private use and public use of reason, would allow us to think of the master as responsible for breaking with the kantian judicial universe and capable of offering a glimpse of a thought without any judicial ballast or representative - the ultimate intent of the philosophy of Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari.
