- Synopsis
- Patton (philosophy, U. of New South Wales, Australia) gathers and reworks previous of his writings on the later political philosophy of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). He focuses on three main issues: the conception of philosophy as the creation of concepts as elaborated with Félix Guattari in What is Philosophy?; attempts to understand the nature of events "by distinguishing between a virtual and an actual dimension or between pure and incarnate events," and the political nature and implications of the preceding. He carries out this discussion by describing Deleuze's thought and setting it into conversation with other issues and the works of other philosophers, including French contemporaries such as Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, as well as Anglophone contemporaries not often connected to Deleuze's work, such as Richard Rorty and John Rawls.
