Happy Death of Gilles Deleuze

Abstract

In this essay, I will look closer at the death of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who committed suicide in 1995. I will scrutinize his death in concordance with his philosophical thoughts, but frame my gaze within Albert Camus' well-known opening-question from The Myth of Sisyphus: "Judging whether life is worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy" (Camus, 2005:1).
