From Spinoza to Deleuze and Guattari: Desire as a power of affirmation and creation

Starting from the idea of desire as affirmation and creation, as the essence of the human, a journey through Spinoza's thought is carried out, in a Deleuzian perspective, recognized as a philosophy of joy and lifestyle, until arriving at the question: how to love in the style of Spinoza? Thus, it is reaffirmed that Spinoza's work consists of denouncing everything that separates us from life, as well as those values that turn against it because they are linked to the illusions that our conscience generates. Trying to clarify what Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Deleuze understand by desire, it is verified that this concept is associated with a particular meaning of the idea of will: when we desire, we produce; desire is event.
