Cet essai aborde l'ontologie de Gilles Deleuze à partit des problèmes de l'événement et de la genèse de l'être et de la pensée. Il interroge la politique de pensée mise en œuvre par Deleuze en son choix de l'immanence et en sa synthèse des dispositifs philosophiques produits par les Stoïciens, Spinoza, Nietzsche et Bergson essentiellement. La création de ce que Deleuze appelait une nouvelle image de la pensée rejoue ainsi les questions de l'être, du temps et de la différence et (...) passe par la reconsidération du rapport entre la pensée et le chaos. Le traitement de la question de la co-genèse de l'être et de la pensée implique la position d'une pensée de la différence séparée de la différence critico-phénoménologique et de la différence dialectique. Par-delà la fin de non-recevoir que Deleuze a opposée à Hegel, il s'agit de repérer les affinités entre dialectique hégélienne et plan vitaliste deleuzien. Sous la ligne de démarcation tracée par Deleuze à l'endroit de la dialectique, des zones de proximité se dessinent en effet à même l'hétérogénéité des plans d'immanence. (shrink)

Considered one of the most important works of one of France's foremost philosophers, and long-awaited in English, "The Logic Of Sense" is an essay in literary and psychoanalytic theory, and philosophy, and helps to illuminate such works as "Anti-Oedipus".

A fascinating anthology of texts and interviews written over 20 years by renowned French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. "One day, perhaps, this century will be Deleuzian," Michel Foucault once wrote. This book anthologizes 40 texts and interviews written over 20 years by renowned French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who died in 1995. The early texts, from 1953-1966, belong to literary criticism and announce Deleuze's last book, Critique and Clinic. But philosophy clearly predominates in the rest of the book, with sharp appraisals of (...) the thinkers he always felt indebted to: Spinoza, Bergson. More surprising is his acknowledgement of Jean-Paul Sartre as his master. "The new themes, a certain new style, a new aggressive and polemical way of raising questions," he wrote, "come from Sartre." But the figure of Nietzsche remains by far the most seminal, and the presence throughout of his friends and close collaborators, Felix Guattari and Michel Foucault. The book stops shortly after the publication of Anti-Oedipus, and presents a kind of genealogy of Deleuze's thought as well as his attempt to leave philosophy and connect it to the outside—but, he cautions, as a philosopher.
