One of the first comprehensive treatments of Deleuzian thought.
There is always something schizophrenic about logic in Deleuze,
which represents another distinctive characteristic: a deep
perversion of the very heart of philosophy. Thus, a preliminary
definition of Deleuze's philosophy emerges: an irrational logic of
aberrant movements. -from Aberrant Movements In Aberrant Movements,
David Lapoujade offers one of the first comprehensive treatments of
Deleuzian thought. Drawing on the entirety of Deleuze's work as
well as his collaborations with Felix Guattari, from the
"transcendental empiricism" of Difference and Repetition to the
schizoanalysis and geophilosophy of Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand
Plateaus, Lapoujade explores the central problem underlying the
delirious coherence of Deleuze's philosophy: aberrant movements.
These are the movements that Deleuze wrests from Kantian idealism,
Nietzsche's eternal return, and the nonsense of Lewis Carroll; they
are the schizophrenic processes of the unconscious and the nomadic
line of flight traversing history-in short, the forces that
permeate life and thought. Tracing and classifying their
"irrational logics" represent the quintessential tasks of Deleuzian
philosophy. Rather than abstract notions, though, these logics
constitute various modes of populating the earth-involving the
human as much as the animal, physical, and chemical-and the
affective, mental, and political populations that populate human
thought. Lapoujade argues that aberrant movements become the
figures in a combat against the forms of political, social,
philosophical, aesthetic, and scientific organization that attempt
to deny, counter, or crush their existence. In this study of a
thinker whose insights, theoretical confrontations, and perverse
critiques have profoundly influenced philosophy, literature, film,
and art over the last fifty years, Lapoujade invites us to join in
the discordant harmonies of Deleuze's work-and in the battle that
constitutes the thought of philosophy, politics, and life.
