About this book

Analyses Deleuze’s notion of transcendental and genetic Ideas as conditions of creative thought

  • Demonstrates that Deleuze’s early philosophy is transcendental
  • Puts forward a new understanding of the transcendental conditions of thought
  • Gives insight into how Deleuze’s thought developed along the lines of thinkers such as Leibniz, Kant, Maimon, Bergson, Nietzsche and Klossowski

From his early work in Nietzsche and Philosophy to Difference and Repetition, Deleuze develops a unique notion of transcendental philosophy. It comprises a radical critique of the illusions of representation and a genetic model of thought.

Engaging with questions of representation, Ideas and the transcendental, Daniela Voss offers a sophisticated treatment of the Kantian aspects of Deleuze’s thought, taking account of Leibniz, Maimon, Lautman and Nietzsche along the way.

Reviews

The book is the best of the recent Romantic presentations of Deleuze’s engagement with Maimon. Voss demonstrates that Kant’s work, and Maimon’s critique of it, are crucial for developing an understanding of Deleuze’s philosophy.
