The undergraduate thesis attempts through Deleuze’s philosophy and concepts of a question, a formula, a password, and a call, which appear, if only in passing, in it, to outline the tactics of enunciation this philosophy uses concerning its extreme elements. A call figures in Deleuze’s late texts firstly as a task of philosophy and art and their relation with people to come, people that we lack. At the same time, a call is also the most a philosopher or an artist can enunciate of and about the people. On one hand, we are therefore attempting to show how Deleuze’s philosophical text works – how and by which means and for what ends it enunciates, and how it carries out the task of calling. With this in mind, we draw a line through the concepts of question from Difference and Repetition, to a formula of Essays Critical and Clinical, and finally to a password which appears as the central element of language in A Thousand Plateaus. Our objective is to determine among those concepts the position of the call. By doing that, we confirm the hypothesis that the call is one among many tactics of Deleuze’s enunciation of philosophy. At the same time, we try to follow the advancement of philosophy towards the limit, which the people represent, and to show why the call is the ultimate action philosophy can undertake in attempting a relationship with the future. Thus we also aim to show what this limit means and signifies. Finally, we encounter a problem of “a life” and the role it plays at this extreme point of Deleuze’s (late) thought.
