Book SynopsisCorry Shores is Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the Middle Eastern Technical University, Ankara University, Turkey.
Trade ReviewThis book provides an important advance in the understanding of Deleuze’s philosophical project. By drawing on the dialetheism of Graham Priest, Shores provides a reading of Deleuze that shows the logical basis for much of his work. * Jeffrey A. Bell, Professor of Philosophy, Southeastern Louisiana University, USA *
Using an innovative logical methodology, Corry Shores invites us to grasp Deleuze’s philosophy as laying bare a cinematographic reality conjoining continuity and discontinuity, duration and intellect, Aion and Chronos. In logical terms, Shores convincingly demonstrates how this can be understood along the lines of dialetheism as promulgated by Graham Priest, which is to say as ‘complete and paraconsistent’. This general logic is carefully extracted from a wide ranging and attentive reading of Deleuze’s oeuvre and from his various references to logical notions. * Guillaume Collett, Researcher in the Centre for Critical Thought, University of Kent, UK *
This book is the answer to a challenge: to elaborate some basic concepts of Deleuze's philosophy by placing them into the frame of modern logic. What kind of logic can grasp Deleuze's ideas on, for example, synthetic disjunction, coalescent incompossibility, or about the power of falsity? Corry Shores, patient, scrupulous and sharp as he is, gives a brilliant answer to that. * Roland Breeur, Professor of Philosophy, Leuven University, Belgium *
