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

Reconstructs Deleuze's philosophy as transcendental empiricism: two philosophies previously seen as contradictory 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 Rolli 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.
