Synopsis

Develops the multiple relations between Deleuze and post-Kantian thought

This collection situates Deleuze’s work and several of his most important concepts in the context of his post-Kantian predecessors, further illuminating both the breadth of his philosophical heritage and the manner in which he moves beyond it.

Through a series of studies by leading scholars in the field, At the Edges of Thought sheds new light on key philosophical encounters with thinkers such as Maimon, Kleist, Hölderlin, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Feuerbach in Deleuze's texts. Readers are invited to join with Deleuze as he traverses and transforms post-Kantian philosophy, taking it towards the very edges of thought.
