Deleuze remains indifferent to the ambient pathos related to the
end of metaphysics and compares the undertakings of destruction,
overcoming and deconstruction of metaphysics with the gestures of
murderers. He considers himself "a pure metaphysician," which is
rather unique in the contemporary philosophical landscape. What are
we to make of this and similar claims? What do they mean in light
of the effort made during the last several centuries to overcome,
overturn, destroy, or deconstruct metaphysics? If we consider
Deleuze's work more closely, might find him engaging in the kind of
thinking that is commonly referred to as metaphysical? And if
Deleuze is indeed a metaphysician, does this undercut the many
insightful contributions of the twentieth century philosophers who
dedicate their thought to bringing down Western metaphysical
tradition? Or does it suggest that there is a sense of metaphysics
that should nevertheless be preserved? These and similar questions
are addressed in this volume by a series of international scholars.
The goal of the book is to critically engage an aspect of Deleuze's
thought that, for the most part, has been neglected, and to
understand better his "immanent metaphysics." It also seeks to
explore the consequences of such an engagement.
