Axel Cherniavsky is a Researcher at the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research, Argentina, and Professor of Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Taylor Adkins is a translator of French philosophy including works by François Laruelle, Quentin Meillassoux, Michel Serres, Félix Guattari and Gilbert Simondon.

This book addresses the question: what does it mean to say that thinking means creating? One cannot but be grateful and full of admiration for Axel Cherniavsky’s patient, rigorous (‘anexact’) and erudite reconstitution of Deleuze’s notion of the concept. This book helps us to better understand what philosophy means for Deleuze – or even better, what it means for someone inspired by Deleuze, to do philosophy.
