What gives us the right to speak of a Deleuzian philosophy, a philosophy at first sight concerned solely with interpreting other philosophers and writers? Koichiro Kokubun focuses on Deleuze's method of 'free indirect discourse' to locate and explicate Deleuze's philosophy of transcendental empiricism and its constitutive limits. Working through Deleuze's confrontations with Hume, Kant, Bergson, Freud, Lacan, Foucault and Guattari, Kokubun uncovers a philosophy strongly influenced by structuralism and psychoanalysis, which had to overtake these movements because of its practical ambitions. Kokubun concludes with a radical revitalisation of the political potential of this philosophy.

Reviews for The Principles of Deleuzian Philosophy

"This excellent book provides one of the clearest and most illuminating accounts that I've yet read of Deleuze's general project. Koichiro Kokubun makes a compelling case for reading Deleuze as a transcendental philosopher in the proper sense of the term, as someone who aims to press the rigorous search for the most fundamental conditions of thought or experience as far as possible, on the assumption that 'we cannot break it off when we please'. Very few of Deleuze's readers have managed to push such a productive and original approach so far, and in so many dimensions, without hesitating in the face of those limits that still define more conventional and less inventive perspectives.-- ""Peter Hallward, author of Out of This World: Deleuze and the Philosophy of Creation"""
