Reviews

‘This excellent collection of essays explores Indian cultural phenomena in the light of Deleuzian concepts and throws new light on aspects of Deleuze’s thought. The question ‘Why?’ hovers over the collection: why Deleuze? Why India? Together the essays assembled here provide a compelling case for the fecundity of this encounter. They make essential reading for anyone interested in Deleuze, India and new developments in the humanities.’ Paul Patton, Hongyi Chair Professor of Philosophy, Wuhan University, China ‘This is a thoughtful and scholarly volume, applying Deleuze not in a blind manner but through a Deleuzian way of philosophizing which is critical and creative. Not only are essential concepts from Deleuze clearly discussed but through their application to various dimensions of Indian social experiences, these concepts are further interpreted and enriched, thereby showing how Deleuzian thought is important for contemporary projects of comparative philosophy. It should be of great interest to all those who are struggling with finding new vocabulary for the changing contemporary world.’ Sundar Sarukkai, Visiting Faculty, Indian Institute of Science and Former/Founder Director, Manipal Centre for Philosophy and Humanities, India
