Abstract

Difference and Repetition is arguably Gilles Deleuze’s first Magnum Opus: a comprehensive presentation of his philosophy, engaging both western philosophy classics and his contemporary scientific breakthroughs. The seminar will follow the book to expose Deleuze’s ideas in their context. We will highlight Deleuze’s scientific inspirations and discuss his impact on the philosophy of science.

Objective

Students of this course will be able to engage with 20th century continental philosophy, with an emphasis on French philosophy. They will also improve their general capacity for thinking outside dominant philosophical boxes.
