Hegel, Deleuze, and the Critique of Representation: Dialectics of Negation and Difference (Suny Series, Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory)
- Used Book in Good Condition
A critical account of the key connections between twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and nineteenth-century German idealist G. W. F. Hegel. Hegel, Deleuze, and the Critique of Representation provides a critical account of the key connections between twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and nineteenth-century German idealist G. W. F. Hegel. While Hegel has been recognized as one of the key targets of Deleuzeâ€™s philosophical writing, Henry Somers-Hall shows how Deleuzeâ€™s antipathy to Hegel has its roots in a problem the two thinkers both try to address: getting beyond a philosophy of judgment and the restrictions of Kantâ€™s transcendental idealism. By tracing the development of their attempts to address this problem, Somers-Hall offers an interpretation of the sweep of nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy, providing a series of analyses of key moments in the history of thought, including the logics of Aristotle and Russell, Kantâ€™s own philosophy of judgment, and the philosophy of Bergson. He also develops a novel interpretation of Deleuzeâ€™s philosophy of difference, and situates his philosophy in relation to the broader post-Kantian tradition. In addition to Deleuzeâ€™s relation to Hegel, the book makes important contributions to the study of Deleuzeâ€™s philosophy of mathematics, as well as to the study of several underappreciated areas of Hegelâ€™s own philosophy. â€œNeither simply disdainful of Hegel, nor wholly convinced by Deleuze, in this rich, wide-ranging volume, Henry Somers-Hall offers what is assuredly the most comprehensive and important treatment of their varied and complex relations to date â€¦ a rewarding and recommended read for anyone interested in the ongoing development of Continental philosophy.â€ â€” Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews â€œThis is the most comprehensive and philosophically interesting analysis of the Deleuze-Hegel relation. Somers-Hall has assembled a remarkable amount of material that is quite diverseâ€”from the problems of representation, judgment, and calculus to those of force and evolutionâ€”and his interpretations are masterful. This book will have a significant impact on the way we think about the development of twentieth-century philosophy.â€ â€” Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University â€œSomers-Hallâ€™s book is a profound engagement with both Deleuze and Hegel, and it provides a much-needed antidote to interpretations that all-too-quickly characterize Deleuze as anti-Hegelian.â€ â€” Daniel W. Smith, coeditor of Gilles Deleuze: Image and Text Henry Somers-Hall is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. He is the cotranslator (with Alistair Welchman, Mergen Reglitz, and Nick Midgley) of Salomon Maimonâ€™s Essay on Transcendental Philosophy.
