Abstract
This paper explores the paradoxical thought in the works of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995), including his writings in collaboration with Félix Guattari, around the question of "becoming". It examines the connotation of certain notions and their internal connection in Deleuze’s works, and, by drawing on the reinterpretations of Deleuzian philosophy by the contemporary Italian philosopher Agamben, discusses becoming and intensity, immanence and Transcendental empiricism, body without organs and transversal, etc. It also explores some possibilities of cross-cultural dialogue between Deleuze's thoughts on becoming and the works of the Taoist thinker Zhuangzi in ancient China.
