7 Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Qu’est-ce que la philosophie? (Paris: Minuit, 1991) 21. While philosophy or thought is about the fashioning of new concepts, this cannot be done independently of other elements of the “composition”: percepts as new ways of seeing or hearing, and affects as new ways of feeling. Our writing pedagogies might encourage “compositions” that “become” more like this.
