Summary/Abstract: Deleuze’s understanding of criticism, presented in his work „Nietzsche and Philosophy“, is a systematic method that Deleuze will use many times later. Advocating this thesis, the paper analyzes the problem of simulacrum, which Deleuze sees in Plato’s philosophy, showing how Deleuze’s understanding of critique is present in his perception of Plato. Although the idea of Deleuze’s critique as a method is in this paper largely observed and examined through his understanding of Plato and the simulacrum, the paper also suggests the possibility of a broader understanding of the role of criticism in Deleuze: can critique be understood as a constant methodological approach used by Deleuze? Such a position opens a space within which Difference and Repetition can be read as a great critical project, an Idea, which Deleuze himself partially refers to.
