Against the Hegelian conception of the history of philosophy as a succession of systems, Deleuze and Guattari suggest the idea of a coexistence of planes. That is because they are trying to avoid thinking the relation between the philosophies as an opposition, a refutation or a sublation, in order to build a frame which allows them appreciate the singularity of each philosophy. So why is it that afterwards they proclaim Spinoza "the Christ of philosophers"? Even the idea of a coexistence of planes, a coexistence of great philosophers, of true creators of concepts, does not suppose as well a selection, the constitution of a philosophic pantheon? The relation between the Hegelian and the Deleuzian history of philosophy will turn out to be much more complex than an opposition. In fact, it is possible to locate different historiographical models in Deleuze´s works, as well as in Hegel´s. Therefore, we will see the latter fluctuate in relation to the former depending on which historiographical model we take as a frame of reference.
