Description

This volume assembles some of the most distinguished scholars in the field of Deleuze studies in order to provide both an accessible introduction to key concepts in Deleuze's thought and to test them in view of the issue of normativity.

This includes not only the law, but also the question of norms and values in the broader ethical, political and methodological sense.

The volume argues that Deleuze's philosophy rejects the unitary vision of the subject as a self-regulating rationalist entity and replaces it with a process-oriented relational vision of the subject.

But what can we do exactly with this alternative nomadic vision?

What modes of normativity are available outside the parameters of liberal, self-reflexive individualism on the one hand and the communitarian model on the other?

This interdisciplinary volume explores these issues in three directions that mirror Deleuze and Guattari's defense of the parallelism between philosophy, science, and the arts.

The volume therefore covers socio-political and legal theory; the epistemological critique of scientific discourse and the cultural, artistic and aesthetic interventions emerging from Deleuze's philosophy.
