{"product_id":"deleuze-and-ancient-greek-physics-michael-james-bennett-9781350099074","title":"Deleuze and Ancient Greek Physics: The Image of Nature","description":"In 1988 the philosopher Gilles Deleuze remarked that, throughout his career, he had always been 'circling around' a concept of nature. Providing critical analysis of his highly original readings of Stoicism, Aristotle, and Epicurus, this book shows that it is Deleuze's interpretations of ancient Greek physics that provide the key to understanding his conception of nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing the works of Aristotle, Plato, Chrysippus, and Epicurus, Michael Bennett traces the development of Deleuze's key concepts of event, difference, and problem. Arguing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to fully understand these ideas without an appreciation of Deleuze's Hellenistic influences, \u003ci\u003eDeleuze and Ancient Greek Physics\u003c\/i\u003e situates his commentaries in the context of contemporary scholarship on ancient Greek philosophy. Delving into the original Greek and Latin texts, this book shows that Deleuze's readings are more complex and controversial than they first appear, simultaneously advancing Deleuze as a new voice in interpretations of ancient Greek philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerating both new critical analyses of Deleuze and a new appreciation for his classical erudition, \u003ci\u003eDeleuze and Ancient Greek Physics\u003c\/i\u003e will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek philosophy, Deleuze's philosophical project or his unique methodology in the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael James Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350099074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350099074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael James Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43948043927807,"sku":"9781350099074","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1bc529e8-077a-4cd9-8ed4-abecf3ceda26.jpg?v=1681522287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deleuze-and-ancient-greek-physics-michael-james-bennett-9781350099074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
