Gilles Deleuze's philosophy represents one of the most important contemporary attempts to create and establish a new conception of ontology, which would reflect the relationship between Man, Animal and Machine. In the first year of our research we worked on Deleuze's conceptualisation of sense. The article has shown that " the play of sense and non-sense" represents for Deleuze a basis for his withdrawal from certain tradition, opening a new, different reflection of Man, Humankind and Animality.

The article discusses Foucault’s “structuralist moment” at the time of the publication of The Order of Things. In an interview Foucault introduces the notion of “structuralist philosophy”, which he understands as an analysis and diagnostic of the present. This orientation of philosophy on the basis of structuralist thinking is discussed regarding the concrete case of Foucauldian archeology, which presents itself as a split between historical research and theory of the event. This split is linked to the problem of the relation between continuity and discontinuity in history.

The article sets out from Lacan's and Badiou's theory of the semblant. Whereas Lacan conceives of the semblant in terms of an access to the real, Badiou encounters the problem of the semblant in his inquiry into the possibility of a non-destructive passion for the real. Developing implications from both theoretical positions, the article aims at answering the following question: how is it possible to produce an act in a reality that is made of nothing but semblants, an act that would produce a minimal difference by setting in motion a semblant that separates the real from itself.
