Aberrant Movements Lapoujade David Professor Universite Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne

One of the first comprehensive treatments of Deleuzian thought.There is always something schizophrenic about logic in Deleuze, which represents another distinctive characteristic: a deep perversion of the very heart of philosophy. --from Aberrant MovementsIn Aberrant Movements, David Lapoujade offers one of the first comprehensive treatments of Deleuzian thought. Thus, a preliminary definition of Deleuze's philosophy emerges: an irrational logic of aberrant movements.

Drawing on the entirety of Deleuze's work as well as his collaborations with F lix Guattari, from the "transcendental empiricism" of Difference and Repetition to the schizoanalysis and geophilosophy of Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus, Lapoujade explores the central problem underlying the delirious coherence of Deleuze's philosophy: aberrant movements.
