Continental Feminist Approaches to Philosophy of Science
This chapter offers an account of central issues and themes in continental feminist philosophical engagements with philosophy of science, reflection on examples of important contributions to this discussion, and a discussion of to what extent recent continental feminist work on the topic of science has contributed to the beginning of a new field in continental feminist philosophy of science. The chapter considers current work primarily concerned …
Deleuze and Guattari’s Philosophy of Freedom
This volume addresses the issue of freedom in the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. This is all the more challenging in that Deleuze-Guattari almost never use the term freedom, preferring instead, the concept of the refrain. The essays collected in the volume show that freedom has been understood in a remarkably narrow sense and that in fact freedom operates as the refrain in every realm of thought and creation. The motivating approach in these…
Deleuze Guattari and the Philosophy of Freedom
Gilles Deleuze and the Theater of Philosophy
This collection offers contemporary criticism and analysis of the French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze. It contains 18 essays by established scholars from the fields of philosophy, literary criticism, feminist theory, politics and sociology, and includes an essay by Deleuze himself. The contributors are from a wide variety of fields, which indicates the extent to which Deleuze's work can, and will, affect theory beyond the discipline of philosophy.
Is Capitalism Inevitable? Is Revolution Possible? Deleuze and Guattari between Capitalism and Calculus
In Anti-Oedipus, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari maintain that nature is a process in which there is neither nature nor human being, except as a single reality produced in the processes of production, distribution and consumption, where distributions are immediately consumed and the consumptions immediately reproduced. In its historical realization, this is the process of capitalism, which must be an effect of such processes, processes of natur…
The Interesting, the Remarkable, the Unusual
Gilles Deleuze takes up the challenge to create a philosophy of the interesting, the remarkable and the unusual. He does this in what Alain Badiou calls the ‘Grand Style’, the style of Descartes, Spinoza and Kant whose philosophies arise in relation to developments in the natural sciences and mathematics. Grounding himself in the molar-molecular pair, Deleuze sets out a new image of thought. He conceptualises an immanent but still relatively clos…
In search of lost time, Merleau-Ponty, Bergson, and the time of objects
After Alice
According to Gilles Deleuze, the underground world of Alice in Wonderland has been strongly associated with animality and embodiment. Thus the need for Alice's eventual climb to the surface and her discovery that everything linguistic happens at that border. Yet, strangely, in spite of the claim that Alice disavows false depth and returns to the surface, it seems that it is precisely in the depths that she finally wakes from her sleepy, stupified…
Deleuze and the Limits of Mathematical Time
In Creative Evolution, Bergson argues that life, the so-called inner becoming of things, does not develop linearly, in accordance with a geometrical, formal model. For Bergson as for classical science, matter occupies a plane of immanence defined by natural laws. But he maintains that affection is not part of that plane of immanence and that it needs new kind of scientific description. For Deleuze, affection does belong to the plane of immanence …
The Universal (In the Realm of the Sensible)Beyond Continental Philosophy
This book proposes a radical, new philosophical system that moves from ontology to ethics. The author develops the concept of an ontological unconscious, a connection arising from our sensible relation to the world that conditions encounters with the environment and with others. This fundamental ontology rethinks the time–space relations opened by Irigaray's notion of the ‘interval’, Bergson's ‘recollection’, Merleau-Ponty's idea of the ‘flesh’, …

The End of Phenomenology
Luce Irigaray is often cited as the principle feminist who adheres to phenomenology as a method of descriptive philosophy. A different approach to Irigaray might well open the way to not only an avoidance of phenomenology's sexist tendencies, but the recognition that the breach between Irigaray's ideas and those of phenomenology is complete. I argue that this occurs and that Irigaray's work directly implicates a Bergsonian critique of the limits …

Eluding Derrida - artaud and the imperceptibility of life for thought
Gilles Deleuze and the Ruin of Representation
Dorothea Olkowski's exploration of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze clarifies the gifted French thinker's writings for specialists and nonspecialists alike. Deleuze, she says, accomplished the "ruin of representation," the complete overthrow of hierarchic, organic thought in philosophy, politics, aesthetics, and ethics, as well as in society at large. In Deleuze's philosophy of difference, she discovers the source of a new ontology of change, whi…
Materiality and language
In Bodies That Matter Judith Butler reflects upon the relationship between women and materiality in the context of the history of philosophy. She points to the presumption of the material irreducibility of sex as the ground of feminist epistemology and ethics and analyses of gender. She also finds a similarity between Aristotle's principles of formativity and intelligibility and Foucault's discussion of how discourse materializes bodies. While Bu…

Nietzsche-Deleuze
L'A. etudie la lecture que fait G. Deleuze de Nietzsche, dans le sens kantien d'une pensee non-representationnelle, ethique et esthetique, de la difference, qui apparait au fondement d'une philosophie de l'etre en devenir. Selon Deleuze, la volonte de puissance est la difference qui constitue les forces actives ou reactives; leurs relations dependent uniquement du hasard. L'existence se definit donc comme un lance de des ou l'etre affirme sa diff…
