W Luzecky, Robert Deleuze and Time

<p>Deleuze’s 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. <br>In this collection, leading international scholars elaborate on Deleuze’s 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. <br>The book shows that the philosophy of time was central to the development of Deleuze’s work. In addition to discussing how time is conceptualised in <i>Difference and Repetition</i> and <i>The Logic of Sense</i>, this collection stands out for its elucidation of Deleuze’s modification of the concept in his two books on cinema.</p>
