Gilles Deleuze's Transcendental Empiricism : From Tradition to Difference (Plateaus - New Directions in Deleuze Studies)

Deleuze’s readings of Hume, Spinoza, Bergson and Nietzsche respond to philosophical critiques of classical and modern empiricism. However, Deleuze’s arguments against those critiques – by Kant, Hegel, Husserl and Heidegger – consolidate the philosophy of immanence that can be called ‘transcendental empiricism’. Marc Rölli offers us a detailed examination of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of transcendental empiricism. He demonstrates that Deleuze takes up and radicalises the empiricist school of thought developing a systematic alternative to the mainstreams of modern continental philosophy.
