Deleuzes Wake : Tributes and Tributaries

Focuses on Deleuzes style, his conception of the self, and his understanding of philosophys relationship to the arts.

Ronald Bogue, author of the first book in English on French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, brings together eight of his essays written since Deleuzes death in 1995. The essays serve as tributes to Deleuzes thought and contribute to the wider dissemination of his ideas, especially as they relate to the aesthetic dimension of his work. Bogue explores how Deleuze views philosophy and the arts as complementary spheres of creative activity that produce new ways of thinking, perceiving, and feeling. Discussing the broader implications of Deleuzes texts, the book addresses questions of style, writing, language, cinema, painting, music, politics, religion, and philosophy.
