Gilles Deleuze's Empiricism and Subjectivity: A Critical Introduction and Guide

Description: Gilles Deleuze's Empiricism and Subjectivity by Jon Roffe This guide explains the key arguments of Empiricism and Subjectivity, organised thematically. It features an Appendix with a propositional summary of the book, a final chapter on with the movement of the themes of Empiricism and Subjectivity through Deleuzes later work and a substantial suggestions for further reading. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Jon Roffe shows how Empiricism and Subjectivity is the precursor for some of Deleuzes most well-known philosophical innovations. For those already familiar with Deleuze, he emphasises its novelty within his corpus. And, for all readers, he shows how it outlines Deleuzes powerful and striking theory of subjectivity, and of philosophy itself.Empiricism and Subjectivity is Gilles Deleuzes first book, and yet it is infrequently read and poorly understood. In fact, it constitutes a unique project in its own right, deserving of the same close study that is now widely given to other, more well-known works. Back Cover Among the ranks of philosophical debuts, Gilles Deleuzes Empiricism and Subjectivity is surely one of the oddest - a book, at once unassuming and brilliant, on David Hume. The strangeness of this book has always rewarded those who are willing to muster rigor and indulge idiosyncrasy, and its in this context that Jon Roffes critical introduction is so good. Roffe is among the very few deft enough to convey the peculiar fusion of philosophical tastes that bring Deleuze and Hume together.Gregory Flaxman, University of North Carolina, Chapel HillEmpiricism and Subjectivity is Gilles Deleuzes first book. It is a study of David Humes philosophy and is infrequently read and poorly understood. Often presumed to be a youthful rehearsal for later, more mature developments of famous themes, in fact it constitutes a unique project in its own right, deserving of the same close study that is now widely given to other, more well-known works. For readers new to his work, Jon Roffe introduces Deleuzes compelling and productive way of reading other thinkers. To those already familiar with Deleuze, it presents his early reading of Hume on its own novel terms. More generally, it outlines the powerful theory of subjectivity and remarkable vision of the nature of philosophy that emerges from Deleuzes encounter with one of the founding figures of modern Western thought.Jon Roffe is Vice-Chancellors Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New South Wales, and is the founding convenor of the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy.Cover image: Flap Among the ranks of philosophical debuts, Gilles Deleuzes Empiricism and Subjectivity is surely one of the oddest - a book, at once unassuming and brilliant, on David Hume.
