<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is a radical interpretation of Deleuze's Logic of Sense. It focuses on Deleuze's concept of events and brings Deleuze's work into relation with the traditions of process philosophy and American pragmatism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sean Bowden shows you how the Deleuzian event should be understood in terms of the broader metaphysical thesis that fixed things or substances are always secondary with respect to events. He achieves this through a reconstruction of Deleuze's relation to the history of thought from the Stoics through to Simondon, taking account of Leibniz, Lautman, structuralism and psychoanalysis along the way. Key features: - Focuses on Deleuze's concept of events and highlights the philosophical richness of The Logic of Sense- Engages with material by Lautman and Simondon that has not yet been translated into English- Examines and clarifies a number of Deleuze's most difficult philosophical concepts, including sense, problematic Ideas and intensive individuation<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>AUTHOR APPROVED <p>'This book will readily take its place as one of the most important volumes in all of Deleuze Studies.'</p> <p>Nick Nesbitt, Princeton University</p> <p>'This is a wide-ranging and penetrating study of one of Deleuze's most important works. A superb book.'</p> <p>Daniel W. Smith, Purdue University</p> <p>An incisive analysis of Deleuze's philosophy of events</p> <p>Sean Bowden shows how the Deleuzian event should be understood in terms of the broader metaphysical thesis that substances are ontologically secondary with respect to events. He achieves this through a reconstruction of Deleuze's relation to the history of thought from the Stoics through to Simondon, taking account of Leibniz, Lautman, structuralism and psychoanalysis along the way.</p> <p>This exciting new reading of Deleuze focuses firmly on his approach to events. Bowden also examines and clarifies a number of Deleuze's most difficult philosophical concepts, including sense, problematic Ideas and intensive individuation, and engages with material by Lautman and Simondon that has not yet been translated into English.</p> <p>Sean Bowden lectures in philosophy at Deakin University and is a Research Fellow in the Philosophy Program at La Trobe University. He is the co-editor of Badiou and Philosophy, forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A timely and invaluable resource for resuscitating interest in a work that, despite the current renaissance in Deleuze studies, continues to perplex and discomfort those who seek a way into its unique and hybrid structure and conceptions ... By constructing a coherent argument, which frames a coherent route for us to follow, Bowden provides a welcome gift to both the novice reader and the experienced scholar.</p>--David Scott, Coppin State University "Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "<br><br><p>Not only does the book cover in impressive detail major facets of the book's argumentation, it will provide the starting point for readers in the future who wish to engage with the staggering and elaborate, not to say baroque, metaphysical system presented in <em>The Logic of Sense</em> ... Bowden's excellent book deserves to be read and re-read: surely the greatest praise for any book, and praise rarely justly bestowed on a book of scholarship. It is certainly warranted here.</p>--Jon Roffe, University of Melbourne, "Parrhesia "<br><br><p>This book will readily take its place as one of the most important volumes in all of Deleuze Studies.</p>--Nick Nesbitt, Princeton University<br><br><p>This is a wide-ranging and penetrating study of one of Deleuze's most important works.
