After progress: Experiments in the revaluation of values
What might it take to learn to think and live after progress? The notion of 'progress' is arguably the defining idea of modernity: a civilisational imagery of a boundless, linear and upwards trajectory towards a future that, guided by reason and technology, will be 'better' than the present. It was this notion that placed techno-science at the heart of the modern political culture, and it was the global unevenness of 'progress' that imagined Euro…
Towards a complex conception of progress
For many decades, scholars working within the broad paradigm of complexity studies/theory have explored the nonlinear dynamics that contour physical and social systems. In doing so, radical theories that contest both Newtonian and neo-Darwinian understandings of reality have been posited, augmenting how we think about processes of change. But throughout these developments, the modern idea of progress has arguably remained insufficiently contested…
The Call for a New Earth, a New People: An Untimely Problem
In their final book, Deleuze and Guattari state that the practice of philosophy 'calls for a future form, for a new earth and people that do not yet exist'. This call is deeply problematic: aside from its aristocratic overtones, it is difficult to ascertain what it might sound like, how to give it voice, and what might come of it. But it is also problematic in form. In this paper I will explain how. After investigating its genesis in Deleuze's en…
Thinking the Problematic: Genealogies and Explorations between Philosophy and the Sciences
The notion of »the problematic« has changed its meaning within the history of power and knowledge since the early 20th century, leading up to today's performative, neocybernetic fascination with generalized management ideas and technocratic models of science. This book explores central scenes, conceptual elaborations, and practical affiliations of what historically has been called »the problem« or »the problematic«. By way of considering modes of…

Deleuze's Bergsonism
Bergson's Method of Problematisation and the Pursuit of Metaphysical Precision
The aim of this paper is to excavate and analyse Henri Bergson's "problematic" thinking. This task will be prosecuted through a close reading of his two-part introduction to The Creative Mind – the text in which Bergson most concisely and conclusively articulates the "problematic" character of his work. As I will attempt to show in this paper, Bergson's work is "problematic" in two respects, one to do with methodology and the other metaphysics. T…
Tracking the Triple Form of Difference: Deleuze's Bergsonism and the Asymmetrical Synthesis of the Sensible
This paper will explore the notions of intensity, the virtual/actual and different/ciation in Gilles Deleuze's work. It will focus in particular on excavating the Bergsonian dimension of these terms in Deleuze's philosophy and their relations to one another. While much has been written on the role of Bergson in shaping Deleuze's virtual/actual philosophy, far less attention has been paid to the way in which Deleuze's thoughts on intensity and the…
The Necessity and Contingency of Universal History
History occupies a somewhat awkward position in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Although they often criticise history as a practice and advance alternatives that are explicitly anti-historical, such as 'nomadology' and 'geophilosophy', their scholarship is nevertheless littered with historical encounters and deeply influenced by historians such as Fernand Braudel. One of Deleuze and Guattari's more significant engagements with hist…
At the Edges of Thought: Deleuze and Post-Kantian Philosophy
At the Edges of Thought: Deleuze and Post-Kantian Philosophy
Through a series of studies by leading scholars in the field, At the Edges of Thought sheds new light on key philosophical encounters in Deleuze's texts. The shape of Eleuzian philosophy is explored through the influence of thinkers such as Maimon, Kleist, Hölderlin, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Feuerbach. This collection situates Deleuze's work and several of this most important concepts with respect to his post-Kantian predecessors, further …
From Structuralism to Poststructuralism
As the immediate precursor to poststructuralism, the movement or paradigm of structuralism was naturally responsible for determining many of poststructuralism’s salient features. But what was structuralism, and how are we to understand its transformation into poststructuralism? In this chapter I will address these issues by first outlining the contours of what might be called the image of structuralism. An appreciation of this image is necessary …
Who Are Our Nomads Today: Deleuze's Political Ontology and the Revolutionary Problematic
This paper will address the question of the revolution in Gilles Deleuze's political ontology. More specifically, it will explore what kind of person Deleuze believes is capable of bringing about genuine and practical transformation. Contrary to the belief that a Deleuzian programme for change centres on the facilitation of ‘absolute deterritorialisation’ and pure ‘lines of flight’, I will demonstrate how Deleuze in fact advocates a more cautious…
History and Becoming: Deleuze's Philosophy of Creativity
Deleuze and Guattari's Historiophilosophy: Philosophical Thought and its Historical Milieu
This paper will examine the relation between philosophical thought and the various milieus in which such thought takes place using the late work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It will argue that Deleuze and Guattari's assessment of this relation involves a rearticulation of philosophy as an historiophilosophy. To claim that Deleuze and Guattari promote such a form of philosophy is contentious, as their work is often noted for implementing …
Emerging from the Depths: On the Intensive Creativity of Historical Events
This paper will explore the possibility of a creative philosophy of history in the work of Gilles Deleuze. It will do so by focusing on Deleuze’s concepts of ‘intensity’ and ‘depth’, as discussed in his seminal work Difference and Repetition. By analysing these concepts in light of several historical thinkers whom Deleuze significantly draws upon (Bergson, Péguy and Braudel), I will show in this paper how Deleuze promotes a theory of history that…
