Deleuze Dictionary Revised Edition 2nd Edition by Adrian Parr (PDF)

Description

This is the first and only dictionary dedicated to the work of Gilles Deleuze. It provides an in-depth and lucid introduction to one of the most influential figures in continental philosophy. It defines and contextualises more than 150 terms that relate to Deleuze’s philosophy and explains the main intellectual influences on Deleuze as well as the influence Deleuze has had on subjects such as feminism, cinema, postcolonial theory, geography and cultural studies. In this revised edition, there are expanded entries on architecture, cinema and psychoanalysis – key areas where interest in Deleuze has grown in recent years.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐There are few philosophers who had quite the same penchant as Deleuze for inventing new terms. I have not counted, but I would guess that even Heidegger’s neologisms pale in comparison to Deleuze’s. At least most of Heidegger’s most important terms remain fairly consistent from book to book. Deleuze seemed to invent new terminology for every new book. There are good philosophical reasons for that since, as Deleuze makes clear in

⭐, philosophy simply is the creation of concepts, and Deleuze created a lot of them.Unfortunately, Deleuze rarely takes the time to define all of his new terms. That is why a book like this can be so helpful, and there is no doubt that this book is quite helpful in untangling Deleuze’s terminology.There are a couple of minor “flaws” of the book, however. I am not sure if “flaws” is really the right word, which is why I put it in quotation marks, but my vocabulary is failing me at the moment, so I will stick with it. As another reviewer pointed out, the terms are often defined by terms that are as obscure as the terms they are defining, which leads you to their definition, and so on, in an endless web. There is probably no way around that, which is why I do not think it is right to call it a “flaw” of the book exactly. This book also does a better job, in my opinion, avoiding that circular web problem than

⭐which is another book that contains a glossary of Deleuzean of terms. I actually think that Deleuze and Geophilosophy is a good supplement to the Deleuze Dictionary. It is more focused on

⭐and contains quite a few terms that this particular dictionary does not.The other “flaw” of the book is that there are some frustrating omissions. There are three examples that I can think of off the top of my head. Deleuze’s notion of the “dark precursor” is a notion I have never really been able to nail down. Unfortunately, the term does not appear in this particular Deleuze dictionary. Another example is the term “plane of consistency” which is a fairly important Deleuzean term that, for some reason, does not appear in the dictionary, along with “abstract maching”. I was very surprised by some of these omissions since these are really important Deleuzean terms. I am sure there are other examples that I am not thinking of at the moment.Ultimately those two “flaws” are no reason not to buy this book. I have only had this book for a little while and it has already helped me immensely. So I would still definitely recommend this book to anyone struggling with Deleuze. My hope, however, is that the authors and publishers will continue to update this book and, hopefully, will eventually add entries for some of the important Deleuzean terms that do not appear in this particular edition.

⭐Totally helps get a grip of the philosophy! Though each is separate they also connect (as they should).

⭐Handy overview if you’re struggling with your rhizomes and your striated space!

⭐i love it very impressed indeed

⭐Creative, fluid and coherent.A fantastic augmentation to the original texts.Crested by a very knowledgeable editors, you can dive in and out.

⭐Es findet hier eine klare und kompetente Auseinandersetzungen mit den zentralen Begriffen der Deleuzschen Philosophie statt, die dem Leser den Zugang in diese komplexe Materie sehr erleichtert, ohne einer eigenen Beschäftigung mit Deleuze allzu sehr vorzugreifen. Als Begleiter bei der Deleuze Lektüre sehr zu empfehlen. Wirklich hilfreich.

⭐Not found.

⭐An easy English read when unable to read Deleuze in its original French….
