The Force that Is but Does Not Act: Ruyer, Leibniz and Deleuze

In What Is Philosophy?, Deleuze and Guattari attribute to Leibniz and Raymond Ruyer a vitalism of 'a force that is but does not act'.This is a judicious characterisation of Leibniz's vitalism, but not Ruyer's. In The Fold, Deleuze presents Ruyer as a disciple of Leibniz, but if Leibniz's monads have no doors or windows, Ruyer's are nothing but doors and …

Deleuze and Guattari also refer to Raymond Ruyer, who argues that every living organism develops according to its melodic theme.

The same may be said of Raymond Ruyer, whose philosophy of biology plays an important though often unrecognised role in Deleuze's thought.1 In Ruyer's case, however, Deleuze executes a double appropriation – that of using Ruyer to assist in his use of Leibniz.
