Students of film, visual culture, theory and anyone who wants to know a little more about continental philosophy will find this book invaluable. This is a book that breathes, that braces, that empowers, that makes you 'see' sudden and startling new associations and then want to play along with Deleuze's concepts so as to apply them to new films, books, or theoretical issues." Jean Michel Rabate, University of Pennsylvania "This is the first book in English to provide a sustained account of the relationship between art and philosophy in Deleuze's work it is full of thoughtful, at times brilliant reflections on the current state of theory and its relation to the world."

Reseña del editor

The Non-Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze takes up Deleuze's most powerful argument on the task of contemporary philosophy in the West. Deleuze argues that it is only through a creative engagement with the forms of non-philosophy--notably modern art, literature and cinema--that philosophy can hope to attain the conceptual resources to restore the broken links of perception, language and emotion. In short, this is the only future for philosophy if it is to repair its fragile relationship to immanence to the world as it is.A sequence of dazzling essays analyze Deleuze's investigations into the modern arts. Particular attention is paid to Deleuze's exploration of Liebniz in relation to modern painting and of Borges to an understanding of the relationship between philosophy, literature and language. By illustrating Deleuze's own approach to the arts, and to modern literature in particular, the book demonstrates the critical significance of Deleuze's call for a future philosophy defined as an art of inventing concepts.
