Overview

One feature of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy is its effort to establish connections with other disciplines and to appeal to non-philosophers. However, Deleuze never establishes these connections without a constant and unconditional reaffirmation of the uniqueness of philosophy. How does he conceive of philosophy? What are its elements? What are its methods? How is philosophy connected to other fields of knowledge and other activities? Axel Cherniavsky provides an answer to these questions by analysing the definition of philosophy Deleuze gives throughout his entire oeuvre: creation of concepts. Through this analysis, you will discover a reconstruction of a creative methodology, a detailed theory of the philosophical concept, a reflection on interdisciplinarity and altogether one of the most precise and systematic conceptions that philosophy has ever given of itself.

Reviews

This book addresses the question: what does it mean to say that thinking means creating? One cannot but be grateful and full of admiration for Axel Cherniavsky’s patient, rigorous (‘anexact’) and erudite reconstitution of Deleuze’s notion of the concept. This book helps us to better understand what philosophy means for Deleuze – or even better, what it means for someone inspired by Deleuze, to do philosophy. -- Roland Breeur, KU Leuven, Belgium
