Deleuze - Nomadology - Split B: Nomad Science vs Royal Science

 

Nomad Science vs Royal Science

  • Nomad science emphasizes following flows, intuition, and problematics, while royal science focuses on reproduction, laws, and fixed forms.
  • Nomad science operates in a field of continuous variation, using differential equations and singularities, not constants.
  • Royal science relies on a hylomorphic model (form organizing matter), mirroring State divisions (governors/governed, intellectual/manual).
  • Nomad science is closely tied to practical construction and collective activities, resisting reterritorialization and autonomy of concepts.
