Badiou's Deleuze

Badiou's reading of Deleuze is largely laid out in his provocative book, Deleuze: The Clamor of Being. Badiou's Deleuze presents a detailed examination of Badiou's reading and argues that, while it fails to do justice to the Deleuzean project, it invites us to reconsider and reassess Deleuze's power to address the ultimate concerns of philosophy. Badiou's Deleuze analyses the differing metaphysics of two of the most influential recent continental philosophers, whose divergent views have helped shape much contemporary thought.

Jon Roffe lectures at the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy. He is co-editor of Understanding Derrida and Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage and a founding editor of the journal Parrhesia.
