Flaxman, Gregory
Gilles Deleuze and the fabulation of philosophy. Powers of the False, Volume 1.
Minneapolis, Univ. of Minnesota, 2011. 401 pp. Includes bibliographical references (p. 329-374) and index. New. Softcover. Although much has been written about Deleuze's engagement with the arts, Gilles Deleuze and the Fabulation of Philosophy concerns the art of his philosophy. Gregory Flaxman suggests that Deleuze's notorious rejection of representation gives rise to a singular task-to create new concepts and invent new means of philosophical expression. Tracing this task throughout Deleuze's vast oeuvre, Flaxman argues that Deleuze's ambition to think and write otherwise constitutes the fabulation of philosophy itself.For Flaxman, Deleuze's philosophy is organized around the notion of the friend (philos). This book dramatizes the practice of friendship in Deleuze's intimate affairs with philosophers-including Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant, and Foucault-and close encounters with a range of writers, including Homer, More, Kafka, Woolf, and Borges. Flaxman traces Deleuze's relationship with Nietzsche, the friend from whom he learned to write in his own name, to explain how apprenticeship becomes the initial condition of Deleuze's philosophical method.
