I'm a bit biased, but...
The French Heidegger We learn pretty valuable things about Deleuze from Deleuze. His attitude towards the sciences and mathematics was plainly not anti-science. Deleuze saw the creative arts and the sciences as distinct domains. And they usually are, in geography at minimum. He figured philosophy's job was to mediate between these two forms of life. (Much like how the blacksmith is the mediator between civilization and primitive societies in A Thousand Plateaus.) So he enjoyed taking theorems of math and showing how they mapped onto movies and showing how paintings illustrated physics. He probably would have succeeded if he hadn't written in his infamously opaque stream-of-consciousness style. As it is the scientists got all hostile because they couldn't understand him like an article in Scientific American. (And you know who you are.) Since the scientists were hostile, the artists produced "science studies," wherein they study rheotric designed to cover up that they don't know science. Even thought the arts and sciences are perhaps in greater disagreement today than ever, the twentieth century does remain, as Foucault said, "Deleuzian."
Good introduction to Deleuze's thought; informative for fans For the most part, Deleuze has been relegated totop-shelf status: his work is meant to be more appreciated than read, andis the province ofphilosophy or theology or French Studies rather thanliterary theory. It is doubtful that Deleuze will ever reach the influenceof Foucault or Bataille, given the infinitely portable structuralistconcepts of the former and the lurid sexiness of the latter. With thepublication of Brian Massumi's guide to the work of Deleuze and Guattari (AUser's Guide to Capitalism and Schizophrenia, MIT Press, 1992), it seemedthat Deleuze was due for coming-out party, but it appears that his timehasn't arrive.The principal problem is that his work speaks to preciselynone of the categories used in cultural or literary criticism. Deleuzehas nothing to say about race, relies on impenetrable anthropological textsfor his critique of Marx (see the third section of Anti-Oedipus), andobscures structured questions of gender with the pansexual dismantling ofFreudian symbology -- his discourse is of the polymorphous perverse, andhis philosophical purposes to the contrary, it is not meant to beaccessible.That said, Negotiations may be just the thing to introduceDeleuze to a slightly wider audience.Composed mostly of interviews, withsome incidental journal articles, the collection serves as primarily anexplanation (if not justification) for the bulk of his highly abstractwork.If compared to the other English-language collection readilyavailable of Foucault's work, the excellent Language, Counter-memory,Practice (Cornell UP, 1977), Negotiations is rather more an introduction tothe major themes and works of Deleuze, a distillation and clarification,rather than a valuable addition.As such, that volume served as a kind ofexpansion of Foucault's theoretical concern and vocabulary, in the serviceof Saussurean concerns.This is not the case with this collection, whichis cannily constructed to cover all phases of Deleuze's career.Neatlysubdivided into subsections on his film work, Capitalism and Schizophrenia,Foucault, and politics and philosophy (the latter with excerpts on Leibnizand Spinoza, two favorite topics), the articles as a whole compose anaccurate picture of Deleuze in general, with somesimplification, althoughnothing Deleuze ever said was simple by any estimation. Yet Deleuze'swork is best "understood" by immersion, rather thancomprehension.If one doesn't "get" or appreciate such conceptsas "deterritorialization," "smooth/striated space,""war machine," "code," "flow,""desiring-machine," or"body without organs,"Negotiations is not likely to clear up any confusion because, at bottom,the ideas advocated by Deleuze's work only take root within the areasmapped out by his discursive universe.Deleuze's work can best beexplained as a kind of phenomenology, which simply describes rather thanprovides a kind of ethical directive or pragmatic imperative.Nocoincidence then, that his favorite subjects -- Leibniz, Spinoza, Bergson-- specialize in the same mode of philosophy: an elaborately stylized viewof the world that reflects a private obsession with the model itself ratherthan clearheaded analysis.Deleuze probably would have liked nothingmore than to be viewed as the master of a discourse that was the subject ofadmiration rather than appropriation. Ultimately, Deleuze retreats withinthe self-contained modernist aspect of the work of art: complaints ofincomprehensibilty are met with claims of artistic license.The problemDeleuze's work faces in America is precisely of this nature: without theconvenient structuralist Foucauldian hooks, Deleuze and Guattari'spotentially monolithic opus remains on untold bookshelves, maintaining afelt presence, not necessarily intelligible.Like Bergson, it is possiblethat Deleuze may be forgotten and then one day rediscovered, to knowinghosannas, by an equally naive writer concerned with contemporaryphilosophical problems, or diagnosing the character of the century's lastquarter.Until then, Negotiations serves as a yet another introduction toDeleuze's work (whether the individual reader needs it or not), and theinsights Deleuze provides into his work, and the conditions under whichthey came into the world, cannot be had elsewhere. ...

Editorial Review Product Description This marks the first critical study ofThe Logic of Sense, Gilles Deleuze's most important work on language and ethics and a vital source for his philosophy of the event. Deleuze's thought always promised a revolution in ethical theories and the relation between language, idea, and action. James William's critical reading conveys the potential and risks of Deleuze's response to the excitement and danger of events. His interpretation engages thoroughly withThe Logic of Sense, touching on phenomenology, an analytic philosophy of language, stoicism, literary theory, and psychoanalysis. His critique illuminates all areas of Deleuze's work in philosophy, politics, literature, linguistics, and sociology. |

Editorial Review Product Description From one end of his philosophical work to the other, Gilles Deleuze consistently described his position as a transcendental empiricism. But just what is transcendental about Deleuze’s transcendental empiricism? And how does his position fit with the traditional empiricism articulated by Hume? In Difference and Givenness, Levi Bryant addresses these long-neglected questions so critical to an understanding of Deleuze’s thinking. Through a close examination of Deleuze’s independent work--focusing especially on Difference and Repetition--as well as his engagement with thinkers such as Kant, Maïmon, Bergson, and Simondon, Bryant sets out to unearth Deleuze’s transcendental empiricism and to show how it differs from transcendental idealism, absolute idealism, and traditional empiricism. What emerges from these efforts is a metaphysics that strives to articulate the conditions for real existence, capable of accounting for the individual itself without falling into conceptual or essentialist abstraction. In Bryant’s analysis, Deleuze’s metaphysics articulates an account of being as process or creative individuation based on difference, as well as a challenging critique--and explanation--of essentialist substance ontologies. A clear and powerful discussion of how Deleuze’s project relates to two of the most influential strains in the history of philosophy, this book will prove essential to anyone seeking to understand Deleuze’s thought and its specific contribution to metaphysics and epistemology.

Editorial Review Product Description Friendship, in its nature, purpose, and effects, has been an important concern of philosophy since antiquity. It was of particular significance in the life of Gilles Deleuze, one of the most original and influential philosophers of the late twentieth century. Taking L'Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze -- an eight-hour video interview that was intended to be aired only after Deleuze's death -- as a key source, Charles J. Stivale examines the role of friendship as it appears in Deleuze's work and life. Stivale develops a zigzag methodology practiced by Deleuze himself to explore several concepts as they relate to friendship and to discern how friendship shifts, slips, and creates movement between Deleuze and specific friends. The first section of this study discusses the elements of creativity, pedagogy, and literature that appear implicitly and explicitly in his work. The second section focuses on Deleuze's friendships with Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Claire Parnet, and Félix Guattari and reveals his conception of friendship as an ultimately impersonal form of intensity that goes beyond personal relationships. Stivale's analysis offers an intimate view into the thought of one of the greatest thinkers of our time. |
