About this book

A multi-disciplinary analysis of Deleuze’s theory of temporality
  • Offers detailed historical analyses of Deleuze’s theory of time in relation to the views of other key figures in Western philosophy
  • Provides a fascinating analyses of the relationship of Deleuze’s philosophy of time in comparison to ancient and contemporary physics
  • Includes a thorough discussion of how the industrial revolution changed the nature of time
  • Provides a ground-breaking analysis of Deleuze’s concept of how film and literature change the way time is perceived

Deleuze’s thought on the nature of temporality developed throughout his career in reference to a complex array of concepts, thinkers and artistic works as well as natural and social phenomena.

In this collection, leading international scholars elaborate on Deleuze’s modification of the thought of historical figures, from the ancients – Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Lucretius – through to the moderns – Spinoza Kant, Husserl, Nietzsche, Bergson, Simondon, Negri – as well as his use of scientific fields such as complexity theory and thermodynamics.

The book shows that the philosophy of time was central to the development of Deleuze’s work. In addition to discussing how time is conceptualised in Difference and Repetition and The Logic of Sense, this collection stands out for its elucidation of Deleuze’s modification of the concept in his two books on cinema.

Reviews

A magnificent book. Deleuze and Time is a compendium of outstanding essays from some of Deleuze's best readers, each addressing, from a different perspective, the fundamental problematic of Deleuze's thought: the being of time itself.

The appeal of Deleuze and Time is to do so in a way that is novel to scholars of Deleuze and digestible for those looking to become acquainted with his work.
