Deleuze and Ethics

Herausgeber: Jun, Nathan; W Smith, Daniel

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Deleuze is perhaps best known for his influential works in philosophical interpretation; epistemology; metaphysics; and political economy. The essays in this collection explore, uncover, and trace the ethical dimension of Deleuzian philosophy along diverse trajectories and, in so doing, endeavour to reclaim that philosophy as moral philosophy.

Ethics plays a crucial, if subtle, role in Gilles Deleuze's philosophical project. Michel Foucault claimed that Anti-Oedipus was 'a book of ethics, the first book of ethics to be written in France in quite a long time.' But what is the nature of the immanent ethics that is developed in Deleuze's thought? How does it differ from previous conceptions of ethics? And what paths does it open for future thought, given the ethical challenges facing humanity in so many domains? Each of the eleven essays in this collection explores the ethical dimension of Deleuze's thought along a new and singular trajectory, and in so doing, attempts to reclaim his philosophy as an ethical philosophy. Contributors include Jeffrey A. Bell, Levi R. Bryant, Laura Cull, Erinn Cunniff Gilson, Eleanor Kaufman, Kenneth Surin, Anthony Uhlmann, James Williams and Audrone Zukauskaite. Daniel W. Smith is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University. Nathan Jun is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Midwestern State University.
