Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential French philosophers
of the last century.This book aims to make sense of his fundamental
project in the clearest possible terms, by engaging with the
central idea that informs virtually all of his work: the equation
of being and creativity. It explores the various ways in which, in
order to affirm an unlimited creative power, Deleuze proceeds to
dissolve whatever might restrict or mediate its expression,
including the organisms, objects, representations, identities, and
relations that this power generates along the way. Rather than a
theorist of material complexity or relational difference, Out of
this World argues that Deleuze is better read as a spiritual and
extra-worldly philosopher. His philosophy leaves little room for
processes of social or historical transformation, and still less
for political relations of conflict or solidarity. Michel Foucault
famously suggested that the 20th century would be known as
'Deleuzian'; this sympathetic but uncompromising new critique
suggests that our Deleuzian century may soon be coming to a close.
