This book offers the first extended comparison of the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and David Hume.
This book offers the first extended comparison of the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and David Hume. Jeffrey Bell argues that Deleuze’s early work on Hume was instrumental to Deleuze’s formulation of the problems and concepts that would remain a focus of his entire corpus. Reading Deleuze’s work in light of Hume’s influence, along with a comparison of Deleuze’s work with William James, Henri Bergson, and others, sets the stage for a vigorous defence of his philosophy against a number of recent criticisms, and it extends the field of Deleuze studies by showing how Deleuze’s thought can clarify and contribute to the work being done in political theory, cultural studies, and history, particularly the history of the Scottish Enlightenment. By engaging Deleuze’s thought with the work of Hume, this book clarifies and supports the work of Deleuze and exemplifies the continuing relevance of Hume’s thought to a number of contemporary debates.
