Deleuze and Derrida

'Deleuze and Derrida is not only the best study we have by far of the notoriously divergent ways these two seminal French thinkers approached the problem of "difference". It is also a manifesto for the philosophy of the future, since only difference, Cisney insists, is capable of pushing thought to places it has never been before. A wonderfully lucid and provocative book.'Daniel W. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue UniversityExplores the distinction between the concepts of difference in the philosophies of Jacques Derrida and Gilles DeleuzeFew thinkers from the twentieth century have had a greater impact on the contemporary continental tradition in philosophy than Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze.While their respective areas of research extended into political, literary and artistic domains they are still best known for their respective attempts to theoretically formulate non-dialectical conceptions of difference. As yet, no scholarly work has attempted to compare or contrast their concepts of difference.Vernon W. Cisney draws such a distinction between them, by examining each with respect to Hegel and Nietzsche, differentiating them on the basis of the criticisms they level against Hegel, as well as their valorisations of Nietzsche, and the ways in which they understand Nietzsche's thought to surpass that of Hegel.Vernon W.

Between Foucault and Derrida

'This book is a careful analysis of the wide-ranging implications of this most unusual of encounters.'Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University'These outstanding essays by leading scholars open up productive new ways of reading the Derrida-Foucault debate. This is an essential collection for all those interested in this epochal exchange between two of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.'Paul Patton, University of New South WalesDerrida and Foucault are without question two of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Both share a similar motivation to challenge our fundamental structures of meaning - in texts, political structures and epistemic and discursive practices - in order to inspire new ways of thinking. Between Foucault and Derrida explores the notorious 'Cogito' debate and includes the central articles of that debate. It also contains - for the first time in English translation - an important piece by Jean-Marie Beyssade along with a letter written by Foucault in reply. In addition, some of the most well-known scholars working in contemporary continental philosophy address the various philosophical intersections and divergences of these two profoundly important thinkers.Yubraj Aryal is Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Montreal and Visiting Scholar at New York University.
