It includes essays, all newly revised or published here for the first time, on such diverse literary figures as Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, D. H. Lawrence, T. E. Lawrence, Samuel Beckett, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Alfred Jarry, and Lewis Carroll, as well as philosophers such as Plato, Spinoza, Kant, Nietzsche, and Heidegger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Deleuze, every literary work implies a way of living, a form of life, and must be evaluated not only critically but also clinically. As Proust said, great writers invent a new language within language, but in such a way that language in its entirety is pushed to its limit or its own \"outside.\" This outside of language is made up of affects and precepts that are not linguistic, but which language alone nonetheless makes possible. In \u003ci\u003eEssays Critical and Clinical\u003c\/i\u003e, Deleuze is concerned with the delirium-the process of Life-that lies behind this invention, as well as the loss that occurs, the silence that follows, when this delirium becomes a clinical state. Taken together, these eighteen essays present a profoundly new approach to literature by one of the greatest twentieth-century philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilles Deleuze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816625697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816625697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.96w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1997 pg. 76","brand":"Gilles Deleuze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926482288895,"sku":"9780816625697","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f9c2e2e3-dc16-4178-b0c2-ee041d4dbc04.jpg?v=1681083315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gilles-deleuze-gilles-deleuze-9780816625697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
