Offering a careful and incisive examination of Gilles Deleuze's engagement with his contemporaries in the continental and analytic traditions, this analysis focuses on the recasting of the Western philosophical tradition. Each chapter considers the relationship between Deleuze and other great philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean-Francois Lyotard, on a range of topics the include science, ethics, and metaphysics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2018, held in Oxford, UK, in July 2018. The 44 full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. They present formal methods for developing and evaluating systems. Examples include autonomous systems, robots, and cyber-physical systems in general. The papers cover a broad range of topics in the following areas: interdisciplinary formal methods; formal methods in practice; tools for formal methods; role of formal methods in software systems engineering; and theoretical foundations.

As I see it all around me, the trees are dying out, our water is contaminated, and our air is not good to breathe. Those are the reasons why today I'm trying my best to come back to our ways of thousands of years ago.

We have to come back to the Native way of life. The Native way is to pray for everything, to take care of everything. Our Mother Earth is very important. We can't just misuse her and think she's going to continue. We can see what's taking place: the animal life, the tree life, even the water is telling us, but we're not paying attention to it.

We've been told to take care of what we've got so that we can leave something for the younger generation. We've tried to practice that from the beginning of our life, but we forgot our way.

"I never have spoken out until lately here, the Spirit coming to me and telling me, "Well, you are going to have to give us a hand here." In a vision, not too many years ago, the water came to me and told me, "I'm going to look like water, but pretty soon nobody's going to use me." These words came from the water, the Spirit. Now I see that the water has been polluted everywhere you go, and pretty soon we're not going to be able to use it.

All living things like to enjoy clean water. The rocks right here, they want clean water. The tree life has to have clean water. We are all one life, and clean water is something we have to rely on.

We, the people, are going to have to put our thoughts together to save our planet here. We only have One Water... One Air... One Mother Earth.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 18th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods, SBMF 2015, which took place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in September 2015. The 11 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: model checking; languages and semantics; refinement and verification; testing and evaluation.
