Abstract
This study suggests the benefits of including virtuality as part of the analysis of our experience. Recovery by Deleuze from Aquinas’ use of virtuality is shown first by displaying Aquinas’ texts on cognitive and normative virtuality, divine, angelic and human virtuality, followed by Deleuze’ uptake of virtuality into his metaphysical analysis. This provides one commonplace where diachronic cross-disciplinarity can appear helpfully.
