Logic of Sense

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Logic of Sense is one of Deleuze’s seminal works. First published in 1969, shortly after Difference and Repetition, it prefigures the hybrid style and methods he would use in his later writing with Felix Guattari. In an early review, Michel Foucault wrote that Logic of Sense ‘should be read as the boldest and most insolent of metaphysical treatises’.

The book is divided into 34 ‘series’ and five appendices, covering a diverse range of topics including sense, nonsense, event, sexuality, psychoanalysis, paradoxes, schizophrenia, literature, and becoming. It includes fascinating close textual readings of works by Lewis Carroll, Sigmund Freud, Seneca, Pierre Klossowski, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Émile Zola.

Logic of Sense is essential reading for anyone interested in post-war continental thought.
