Two messengers, one spear, one gate
The work of both Lawlor and Bell was invaluable as I tried to join together the two main lines of argumentation in Experience and Empiricism : one concerning the development of the philosophical problematic in which Deleuze worked during his earliest years as a professional philosopher; the other arguing for the distinctive relevance of Hume's philosophy, as read by Deleuze, for advancing a novel philosophical claim in the midst of that problemat…
Matters of Interest
Namita Goswami’s book, Subjects That Matter: Philosophy, Feminism, and Postcolonial Theory , challenges its reader not only to attend to how one philosophizes about difference but also how one might philosophize differently.

Thao's pervasive concern was the determination of a basis for truthful action. In two es…
Why So Serious

But what if, in showing this preference, philosophical thought has unwittingly and unknowingly aligned itself with a form of thinking that accepts…
Humor, Law, and Jurisprudence
Dramatization and comedy are recurring themes in Deleuze's work in the 1960′s and, from his book on Nietzsche in 1962 through The Logic of Sense in 1969, remarks on humor and comedy are closely bound to ethical and political concerns. In Nietzsche and Philosophy, he speaks of the "true" and "false" senses of the tragic in order to frame his interpretation of Nietzsche as a whole, but the distinction acquires its immediate importance from its bear…
