A clear and concise overview of and introduction to Deleuze's work in relation to philosophical inquiry.
Joe Hughes received his PhD from the University of Edinburgh, UK and currently teaches at the University of Minnesota, USA. He is the co-translator of Deleuze's Pericles and Verdi (Columbia University Press, 2002).
‘Philosophy After Deleuze is a bold, wide-ranging and informative
book. Joe Hughes affirms unequivocally that there is a Deleuzian
philosophy and then shows us how to find it despite the many
changes in subject matter and vocabulary that characterize
Deleuze's work. He traces the outlines of a Deleuzean philosophy
across key manifestations in the fields of ontology, ethics,
aesthetics and politics. He provides insightful accounts of
Deleuze's engagements with familiar interlocutors such as Kant,
Spinoza, Bergson and Nietzsche, but also his less studied
engagements with figures such as Blanchot, Klossowski and Hume.
This book is essential reading for every serious student of
Deleuze.'
*Paul Patton, Professor of Philosophy at the University of New
South Wales, Australia*
Philosophy After Deleuze is a superb book that picks up where
Hughes's earlier book, Deleuze and the Genesis of Representation,
left off. It presents Deleuze as a systematic philosopher in a
Kantian vein, arguing persuasively that one of the aims of
Deleuze's work was to carry the Kantian initiative in philosophy to
its completion. Hughes deftly works out the implications of this
claim in four domains that closely reflect the architectonic
structure of Kant's own philosophy: ontology, aesthetics, ethics,
and politics. Hughes writes with admirable clarity, which makes his
book both an accessible introduction to Deleuze's thought as well
as a challenging reevaluation for more advanced readers. Highly
recommended.
*Daniel Smith, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Purdue
University, USA*
Joe Hughes does an excellent job not only of introducing the reader
to what Deleuze thought but, more importantly, why he thought and
expressed himself as he did... The clear and persuasive way in
which he deals with the complexities of Deleuze’s style sets the
tone... Hughes is effective in synthesizing and presenting complex
ideas in an uncluttered and precise way... A first-rate
introduction for those who, from advanced undergraduate level up,
are approaching Deleuze’s thought and style for the first time.
*Oxford Journals*
This book is ... a very clear and didactic introduction to Deleuze
himself.
