I discuss some of the questions raised by François Zourabichvili in his "Deleuze and the question of literality", also in this collection. I thus ask three questions: 1) Can we find equivalences between the notion of "literality" and the idea of "power of the false" which Nietzsche develops earlier in his "On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense"? 2) To what extent would a philosophical exercise of literality liberate us from increasing assertiveness and gregariousness? 3) In a class, what would be the actual face and what would be the virtual one? In other words, what is the relationship between a pedagogy internal to philosophy and a non-philosophical pedagogy? I Finally ask whether we should take literally the thesis of Zourabichvili that whoever mentions the notion of ontology when talking about the work of Deleuze either talks utter nonsense or does not know what ontology means.
