Essays by Gilles Deleuze on the search for a new empiricism. The
essays in this book present a complex theme at the heart of the
philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, what in his last writing he called
simply "a life." They capture a problem that runs throughout his
work-his long search for a new and superior empiricism. Announced
in his first book, on David Hume, then taking off with his early
studies of Nietzsche and Bergson, the problem of an "empiricist
conversion" became central to Deleuze's work, in particular to his
aesthetics and his conception of the art of cinema. In the new
regime of communication and information-machines with which he
thought we are confronted today, he came to believe that such a
conversion, such an empiricism, such a new art and will-to-art, was
what we need most. The last, seemingly minor question of "a life"
is thus inseparable from Deleuze's striking image of philosophy not
as a wisdom we already possess, but as a pure immanence of what is
yet to come. Perhaps the full exploitation of that image, from one
of the most original trajectories in contemporary philosophy, is
also yet to come.
