Description
Trade ReviewThe book’s constructive project is worthy of attention. Kaspar uses the many objections to intuitionism to pare the theory down to its essentials; then, he develops a framework that promises to solve the explanatory and epistemological puzzles that the view faces. ... An engaging and accessible work. -- Robert William Fischer, Texas State University, USA * Philosophy in Review *
In this exceptionally rewarding study of Deleuze and futurism, Helen Palmer enacts new possibilities for rigorous scholarship, where precise formal analysis and powerful conceptual innovation combine to give us the deepest practical explanation of Deleuze’s radical philosophy of language, while pointing to the continued importance of futurism as template for avant-garde movements. * James Williams, University of Dundee, UK *
This important new study sheds more light on a movement that has profoundly influenced the development of literature and the arts in the 20th century internationally. While there are excellent books dealing with futurism, the avant-garde, and Deleuze’s philosophy individually, there is no book bringing together those two topics for comparison like this book does. It highlights for the first time the connection between the futurist manifestoes and Deleuze’s philosophical writings, from both a conceptual and a linguistic perspective * Anna Lawton, Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University, USA *
