Throughout his illustrious career, the philosopher Gilles Deleuze persistently circled around a central concept: nature. In this profound book, Michael Bennett offers a critical analysis of Deleuze's unique interpretations of Stoicism, Aristotle, and Epicurus. By delving into the works of these ancient Greek philosophers, Bennett meticulously traces the development of Deleuze's key concepts, including event, difference, and problem. He argues that a full understanding of these ideas requires an appreciation of Deleuze's Hellenistic influences, placing his commentaries within the broader context of contemporary scholarship on ancient Greek philosophy.
Deleuze and Ancient Greek Physics delves into the original Greek and Latin texts, revealing that Deleuze's readings are more intricate and contentious than they initially appear. At the same time, this book elevates Deleuze as a fresh and innovative voice in the interpretations of ancient Greek philosophy. It not only provides new critical assessments of Deleuze's work but also fosters a deeper appreciation for his profound classical erudition.
For anyone with an interest in ancient Greek philosophy, Deleuze's philosophical project, or his distinctive methodology in the history of philosophy, Deleuze and Ancient Greek Physics will be an invaluable resource. It offers a profound exploration of nature, philosophy, and the enduring legacy of ancient Greek thought, enriching our understanding of these profound subjects.
