Gilles Deleuze's engagements with mathematics, replete in his work,
rely upon the construction of alternative lineages in the history
of mathematics, which challenge some of the self imposed limits
that regulate the canonical concepts of the discipline. For
Deleuze, these challenges provide an opportunity to reconfigure
particular philosophical problems - for example, the problem of
individuation - and to develop new concepts in response to them.
The highly original research presented in this book explores the
mathematical construction of Deleuze's philosophy, as well as
addressing the undervalued and often neglected question of the
mathematical thinkers who influenced his work. In the wake of Alain
Badiou's recent and seemingly devastating attack on the way the
relation between mathematics and philosophy is configured in
Deleuze's work, Simon B.Duffy offers a robust defence of the
structure of Deleuze's philosophy and, in particular, the adequacy
of the mathematical problems used in its construction. By
reconciling Badiou and Deleuze's seemingly incompatible engagements
with mathematics, Duffy succeeds in presenting a solid foundation
for Deleuze's philosophy, rebuffing the recent challenges against
it.
