Deleuze and the History of Mathematics: In Defense of the 'New' by Dr Simon Duff

Description: Deleuze and the History of Mathematics by Dr Simon Duffy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Gilles Deleuzes engagements with mathematics, replete in his work, rely upon the construction of alternative lineages in the history of mathematics, which challenge some of the self imposed limits that regulate the canonical concepts of the discipline. For Deleuze, these challenges provide an opportunity to reconfigure particular philosophical problems - for example, the problem of individuation - and to develop new concepts in response to them. The highly original research presented in this book explores the mathematical construction of Deleuzes philosophy, as well as addressing the undervalued and often neglected question of the mathematical thinkers who influenced his work. In the wake of Alain Badious recent and seemingly devastating attack on the way the relation between mathematics and philosophy is configured in Deleuzes work, Simon Duffy offers a robust defence of the structure of Deleuzes philosophy and, in particular, the adequacy of the mathematical problems used in its construction.By reconciling Badiou and Deleuzes seeming incompatible engagements with mathematics, Duffy succeeds in presenting a solid foundation for Deleuzes philosophy, rebuffing the recent challenges against it.
