Summary/Abstract: Gilles Deleuze is well known as a philosopher who had a profound debat with psychoanalysis. This debate cannot be reduced to a critic of psychoanalysis alone because the universe in which Deleuze thinks and writes is heterogeneous and plural. In Logic of Sense, Freud’s project, enriched by Melanie Klein or Jacques Lacan, is to point a metaphysical potentiality in the concepts of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is called a “science of events” to create a net of connections between various series of the psychoanalytical insights. In my paper, I have tried to show how Deleuze determined the introduction to the debate with psychoanalysis. The key concept for his introduction is the notion of “phantasm” that is also rooted in the philosophical tradition.
