Description
Book SynopsisBrings into conversation modes of thought traditionally held apart: Whitehead's philosophy of the event, Deleuze's philosophy of multiplicity, and Judith Butler's philosophy of gender difference. This volume finds that bridge in an emphasis on becoming that secretly defines the philosophies of Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler.
Trade ReviewOffers a lucid and nuanced introduction to some of the key concepts developed by Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler.
---—Mayra Rivera, Pacific School of ReligionThis collection of essays brings together three very different thinkers around their shared immanentism and anti-substantialism, attending to the differing ways that events, bodies, and gods become in the absence of a transcendent order of being. Operating without a form, essence, or original according to which becoming comes to be, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler share an attentiveness to that which has never been before. This volume promises a kind of newness at all levels: it stages an unprecedented conversation among thinkers committed to the unprecedented.
