As explained in the introduction, twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze is included in this book due to his continuity, as a critic and interpreter of Kant, with Jacobi, Herder, and Maimon. Vincent Descombes has remarked that ‘Deleuze is above all a post-Kantian’, and without wishing to reduce Deleuze to rationalism, naturalism, or idealism, I think his response to Kant can and should be read in terms of post-Kantian Spinozism. 1 Moreover, Deleuze is important in the ‘Kant and Spinozism’ story because he has been prominent in a twentieth-century Spinoza revival just as significant as the eighteenth-century one of Jacobi and Herder. 2 In this chapter I will argue that Deleuze, like the other thinkers under consideration here, uses Spinozism to challenge transcendental idealism, while also indicating that Kant and Spinoza converge on the point of immanent genesis. In this respect, and in respect of several key ideas of his major work Difference and Repetition , Deleuze is the contemporary inheritor of Maimon.
