The first scholarly comparative analysis of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze's philosophies of difference
- Situates the philosophy of difference within the broader context of the history of philosophy, going back to its beginnings in Plato and Aristotle
- Focuses on the positions that Derrida and Deleuze occupy with respect to the Hegel-Nietzsche-Heidegger triumvirate
- Provides the first in-depth analysis of the defining distinction between Derrida and Deleuze, out of which most of the other differences (ethical, political, etc.) between the two can be more richly understood
- Offers an original understanding of the history and trajectory of continental philosophy specifically, rooted in an engagement with Husserl's time-consciousness analysis and in Deleuze's adoption of Bergson's thinking
Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze are best known for their respective attempts to theoretically formulate non-dialectical conceptions of difference. Now, for the first time, Vernon W. Cisney brings you a scholarly analysis of their contrasting concepts of difference.
