This collection brings together the work of leading international scholars to provide a multi-disciplinary analysis of Deleuzes theory of temporality.
Deleuzes 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 Deleuzes 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 Deleuzes 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 Deleuzes modification of the concept in his two books on cinema.
