The philosophy of Deleuze is as relevant to contemporary thought as it is enigmatic and intricate. Deleuze at the End of the World navigates readers through this labyrinth by delving into the raw material that Deleuze culled from thinkers across diverse fields of knowledge to construct his own concepts, some of which are well-known (such as Hegel, Kant, Husserl, Balibar, and Blanchot) and some widely unexplored (Selme, Guillaume, Bakhtine, and Dalcq). Simultaneously, readers gain access to Latin American perspectives on contemporary philosophy.

Contextualized with an Introduction by one of the pioneers of Deleuzian Studies at a global level, Dorothea Olkowski, this book serves as both a unique tool for comprehending the philosophy of Deleuze and an insightful exploration into how it has been interpreted in the periphery of American and European scholarship, where "the end of the world" signifies not merely a geographical contingency but the encounter of thought with its own boundaries. This collection offers a refreshing approach to Deleuzian philosophy while also providing a continuous and innovative exploration of thought.
