Beskrivning

Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze are still best known for their respective attempts to theoretically formulate non-dialectical conceptions of difference. Now, for the first time, Vernon W. Cisney brings you a scholarly analysis of their contrasting concepts of difference. Cisney distinguishes them on the basis of their responses to Hegel and Nietzsche. The contrast between the two, Cisney argues, is that Deleuze formulates an affirmative conception of difference, while Derrida’s différance amounts to an irresolvable negativity.

Recensioner i media

Deleuze and Derrida is not only the best study we have by far of the notoriously divergent ways these two seminal French thinkers approached the problem of "difference." It is also a manifesto for the philosophy of the future, since only difference, Cisney insists, is capable of pushing thought to places it has never been before. A wonderfully lucid and provocative book.
