    Deleuze's Philosophy of Difference: A Review

    This is a Deep Dive of a paper that offers two distinct reviews of academic books in the field of philosophy and literary criticism. The first, a review by Bican Polat, examines Jeffrey A. Bell's "Philosophy at the Edge of Chaos: Gilles Deleuze and the Philosophy of Difference," which explores Deleuze's concept of difference in relation to Western metaphysics, particularly comparing it to the ideas of Heidegger and Derrida. The second, a review by Tarek R. Dika, analyzes "Psyche: Inventions of the Other," a collection of essays that provides a portrait of Derrida's philosophical, literary, and ethico-political concerns, including his stance on apartheid and essays on figures like Barthes and Freud. Both reviews engage with complex philosophical concepts and their interconnections.

    Review of Daniel W. Smith's Essays on Deleuze

    This Deep Dive examines a a review essay by Kenneth Noe from the Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy, published in 2013. It focuses on Daniel W. Smith's book, "Essays on Deleuze" (2012), which collects Smith's extensive work on the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Noe's review highlights Smith's significant contributions to Deleuze studies, particularly how Smith interprets Deleuze's philosophy as a direct response to Kant and post-Kantian critical philosophy. The essay explores themes such as Deleuze's engagement with the history of philosophy, his philosophical system, key Deleuzian concepts, and his relation to contemporary philosophy. A central focus of the review is Smith's examination of Deleuze's theory of time and concepts, emphasizing how Deleuze reimagines the nature of thought and experience through passive syntheses to allow for the production of novelty.

    This Deep Dive examines a review of "The Cambridge Companion to Deleuze", an edited volume aiming to provide accessible entry points for non-specialists into the complex work of philosopher Gilles Deleuze. The reviewer highlights the book's success in enticing new readers due to its organization by topics and the impressive roster of contributing scholars, many of whom are leading interpreters of Deleuze's work. The review details how the collection explores various facets of Deleuze's thought, including its historical context, ethical and political implications, connections to science and art, and his relationships with other philosophical traditions and thinkers like Kant and Guattari. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that the Companion serves as a valuable roadmap to the current state of Deleuze scholarship, offering seasoned reflections on specific areas rather than a broad, single-author overview.

    Deleuze and Democracy: A Critical Engagement

    This Deep Dive examples an academic article by Paul Patton that explores the relationship between the political philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and the concept of democracy. It directly responds to Philippe Mengue's assertion that Deleuzian thought is inherently hostile to democratic principles. Patton addresses three key arguments Mengue presents to support this claim: Deleuze's rejection of transcendence and his criticisms of human rights, the contrast between majoritarian and minoritarian politics, and the antipathy of philosophy towards opinion. The author aims to demonstrate that, despite not being a theorist of democracy, Deleuze's work remains committed to egalitarian and democratic values, offering a more nuanced and positive interpretation of his engagement with democratic ideas.
