Badiou's Deleuze presents the first thorough analysis of one of the
most significant encounters in contemporary thought: Alain Badiou's
summary interpretation and rejection of the philosophy of Gilles
Deleuze. Badiou's reading of Deleuze is largely laid out in his
provocative book, Deleuze: The Clamor of Being, a highly
influential work of considerable power. Badiou's Deleuze presents a
detailed examination of Badiou's reading and argues that, whilst it
fails to do justice to the Deleuzean project, it invites us to
reconsider what Deleuze's philosophy amounts to, and to reassess
Deleuze's power to address the ultimate concerns of philosophy.
Badiou's Deleuze analyses the differing metaphysics of two of the
most influential of recent continental philosophers, whose
divergent views have helped to shape much contemporary thought.

From Lucretius to Schelling to Foucault, this book looks at 16
philosophers, writers and artists whose work influenced the
philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Each chapter introduces the thinker
in question, explains the context in which Deleuze draws their work
and discusses how it contributed to the development of Deleuze's
own ideas. Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage II complements the
original Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage volume by adding new
voices to the discussion: looking at thinkers not covered by the
first volume, intruducing well-known French philosophers to
English-language Deleuze studies and reflecting the latest Deleuze
scholarship.
Jon Roffe shows how Empiricism and Subjectivity is the precursor
for some of Deleuze's most well-known philosophical innovations.
For those already familiar with Deleuze, he emphasises its novelty
within his corpus. And, for all readers, he shows how it outlines
Deleuze's powerful and striking theory of subjectivity, and of
philosophy itself. Empiricism and Subjectivity is Gilles Deleuze's
first book, and yet it is infrequently read and poorly understood.
In fact, it constitutes a unique project in its own right,
deserving of the same close study that is now widely given to
other, more well-known works.

Marco Altamirano critiques the modern concept of nature to chart a
new trajectory for the philosophy of nature. He reveals the modern
origins of the epistemological configuration of nature, where a
subject confronts an object in space (and at time t), and wonders
about her mode of access to that object. After critiquing the
spatial orientation of this concept of nature, Altamirano shows
that a new concept of time is necessary to reinstall the subject
within its concrete ecology. Altamirano goes on to deploy
conceptual resources excavated from Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and
Leroi-Gourhan to show how technology, which bypasses the
nature-artifice distinction, is an essential dimension of the
philosophy of nature. Ultimately, this book draws the profile of a
concept of nature based on time and technology that escapes the
nature-artifice distinction that has mired the philosophy of nature
for so long.
The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze is increasingly gaining the
prestige that its astonishing inventiveness calls for in the
Anglo-American theoretical context. His wide-ranging works on the
history of philosophy, cinema, painting, literature and politics
are being taken up and put to work across disciplinary divides and
in interesting and surprising ways. However, the backbone of
Deleuze's philosophy - the many and varied sources from which he
draws the material for his conceptual innovation - has until now
remained relatively obscure and unexplored. This book takes as its
goal the examination of this rich theoretical background.
Presenting essays by a range of the world's foremost Deleuze
scholars, and a number of up and coming theorists of his work, the
book is composed of in-depth analyses of the key figures in
Deleuze's lineage whose significance - as a result of either their
obscurity or the complexity of their place in the Deleuzean text -
has not previously been well understood. This work will prove
indispensable to students and scholars seeking to understand the
context from which Deleuze's ideas emerge. Included are essays on
Deleuze's relationship to figures as varied as Marx, Simondon,
Wronski, Hegel, Hume, Maimon, Ruyer, Kant, Heidegger, Husserl,
Reimann, Leibniz, Bergson and Freud.

The philosophy of Raymond Ruyer was an important if subterranean
influence on twentieth-century French thought, and explicitly
engaged with by figures such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Georges
Canguilhem, Gilbert Simondon, and Gilles Deleuze. The Genesis of
Living Forms is Ruyer's most focussed and forceful analysis of a
central but apparently paradoxical biological phenomenon that also
presents serious problems for philosophy: embryogenesis. When a cat
develops from the early stages of fertilization to an adult, what
is it that makes it the same cat? How is it that a living being can
at once be the same and constantly changing? Ruyer's answer to
these questions unfolds through a detailed set of encounters with
major scientific fields, from particle physics to social
psychology, arguing that the paradox can only be dissolved by
seeing the role that form plays in the ongoing development of
living beings. In Ruyer's view, embryogenesis is a central problem
not just in the life sciences; every thing must possess a relation
to a form that is characteristic of it, from carbon atoms to
embryos, and to embryologists themselves.
The first sustained exploration of Simondon's work to be published
in English. This collection of essays, including one by Simondon
himself, outlines the central tenets of Simondon's thought, the
implication of his thought for numerous disciplines and his
relationship to other thinkers such as Heidegger, Deleuze and
Canguilhem.Complete with a contextualising introduction and a
glossary of technical terms, it offers an entry point to this
important thinker and will appeal to people working in philosophy,
philosophy of science, media studies, social theory and political
philosophy.Gilbert Simondon's work has recently come to prominence
in America and around the Anglophone world, having been of great
importance in France for many years.
