Both of these traditions represent forms of moralism that Deleuze explicitly rejects. In this book, Cheri Lynne Carr explores the very real potential of Deleuze's clandestine use of Kantian critique for developing a new ethical practice. This new practice is built on an idea implicit in much of Deleuzian thought: the idea of critique as a way of life. This new concept of a critical ethos is a powerful form of moral pedagogy directed at developing in us the wisdom to perceive unanticipated features of moral salience, evaluate our presupposed principles, affirm the limits imposed by those presuppositions and create concepts that capture new ways of thinking about moral problems.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>'Kant's ethics might seem far removed from Deleuze's concerns, but in this remarkable book, Carr shows that Deleuze's radicalization of Kant's transcendental method in fact leads to an entirely new concept of normativity, grounded in an ideal of perpetual self-critique and self-creation. Deleuze's Kantian Ethos is the most original and inventive attempt I have yet read that attempts to elucidate the precise nature of a Deleuzian ethics.' Daniel W. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University Explores the potential for an original ethics based on Deleuze's unique interpretation and use of Kantian critique Among the philosophical traditions that seem most at odds with Gilles Deleuze's project, two stand out: Kantianism and Normative Ethics. Both of these traditions represent for Deleuze forms of moralism that he explicitly rejects. In this book, Cheri Lynne Carr explores the very real potential Deleuze's clandestine use of Kantian critique has for developing a new ethical practice. This new practice is built on an idea implicit in much of Deleuzian thought: the idea of critique as a way of life. This new concept of a critical ethos is a powerful form of moral pedagogy directed at developing in us the wisdom to perceive unanticipated features of moral salience, evaluate the principles we presuppose, affirm the limits those presuppositions impose, and create concepts that capture new ways of thinking about moral problems.
