Description
This collection situates Deleuze's work and several of his most important concepts in the context of his post-Kantian predecessors, further illuminating both the breadth of his philosophical heritage and the manner in which he moves beyond it. Through a series of studies by leading scholars in the field, At the Edges of Thought sheds new light on key philosophical encounters with thinkers such as Maimon, Kleist, Hoelderlin, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Feuerbach in Deleuze's texts. Readers are invited to join with Deleuze as he traverses and transforms post-Kantian philosophy, taking it towards the very edges of thought.
Reviews / Votes
Post-Kantian philosophy was distinguished by the wide range of its interests, probing epistemology, ethics, political philosophy and aesthetics with equal depth and intensity. This collection sheds light on Deleuze's philosophy, while also reminding us of the multiple and far-reaching aspirations of post-Kantian thought. * Dr Christian Kerslake *More details
