Abstract
The article addresses the problem of G. Deleuze’s interpretation of the doctrine of affects set forth in B. Spinoza's treatise “Ethics”. The main task of B. Spinoza's ethical doctrine is the search for moral freedom, which he directly connects with the ability of adequate knowledge. Freedom is designed to bring a person out of a state of slavery, reduced to his powerlessness before the subordinate influence of affects. Focusing on the principle of variability, as well as on the specifics of affects existing in the form of binary opposition, G. Deleuze discovers and outlines a practical way to overcome them.
