Thinking between Kant and Deleuze: a strange encounter
Co-edited with Edward Willatt
In the wake of much previous work on Gilles Deleuze's relations to other thinkers (including Bergson, Spinoza and Leibniz), his relation to Kant is now of great and active interest and a thriving area of research. In the context of the wider debate between 'naturalism' and 'transcendental philosophy', the implicit dispute between Deleuze's 'transcendental empiricism' and Kant's 'transcendental idealism' is of prime philosophical concern.
Bringing together the work of international experts from both Deleuze scholarship and Kant scholarship, Thinking Between Deleuze and Kant addresses explicitly the varied and various connections between these two great European philosophers, providing key material for understanding the central philosophical problems in the wider 'naturalism/ transcendental philosophy' debate. The book reflects an area of great current interest in Deleuze Studies and initiates an ongoing interest in Deleuze within Kant scholarship.
The contributors are Mick Bowles, Levi R. Bryant, Patricia Farrell, Christian Kerslake, Matt Lee, Michael J. Olson, Henry Somers-Hall and Edward Willatt.
LikeOceanic ontology and problematic thought
V1.0
This is my doctoral thesis on Deleuze - currently self-published in order to get feedback and comments. The book is undergoing revision for possible independent publication, hence this is v1.0 of the text. This an account of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze which argues for a Nietzschean ontology of forces as the core 'oceanic' ontology of Deleuze and which then attempts to understand sense on the basis of this ontology, developing a concept of character which is then applied firstly to the conceptual case of aporias and secondly to the textual case of Wittgenstein's Tractatus.
