First published in 1997, Alain Badiou's "Deleuze: The Clamor of
Being" cast Gilles Deleuze as a secret philosopher of the One. In
this work, Clayton Crockett rehabilitates Deleuze's position within
contemporary political and philosophical thought, advancing an
original reading of the thinker's major works and a constructive
conception of his philosophical ontology. Through close readings of
Deleuze's "Difference and Repetition," "Capitalism and
Schizophrenia" (with Felix Guattari), and "Cinema 2," Crockett
argues that Deleuze is anything but the austere, quietistic, and
aristocratic intellectual Badiou had portrayed. Instead, Crockett
underscores Deleuze's radical aesthetics and innovative scientific,
political, and mathematical forms of thought. He also refutes the
notion Deleuze retreated from politics toward the end of his life.
Using Badiou's critique as a foil, Crockett maintains the profound
continuity of Deleuze's work and builds a general interpretation of
his more obscure formulations.
