OverviewFirst published in 1997, Alain Badiou's Deleuze: The Clamor of Being cast Gilles Deleuze as a secret philosopher of the One. In this work, Clayton Crockett rehabilitates Deleuze's position within contemporary political and philosophical thought, advancing an original reading of the thinker's major works and a constructive conception of his philosophical ontology. Through close readings of Deleuze's Difference and Repetition, Capitalism and Schizophrenia (with Felix Guattari), and Cinema 2, Crockett argues that Deleuze is anything but the austere, quietistic, and aristocratic intellectual Badiou had portrayed. Instead, Crockett underscores Deleuze's radical aesthetics and innovative scientific, political, and mathematical forms of thought. He also refutes the notion Deleuze retreated from politics toward the end of his life. Using Badiou's critique as a foil, Crockett maintains the profound continuity of Deleuze's work and builds a general interpretation of his more obscure formulations.

Choice 10/1/13 Crockett's manuscript has a remarkably illuminating quality to it. That he is able to make so crystal clear some of Deleuze's contested concepts is the result of years of patient labor over Deleuze's writings. -- Ward Blanton, University of Glasgow Crockett is a thinker who is quickly developing an influential international profile in his own right and this text reinforces why...This is an interdisciplinary text of rare ability and power that takes the reader into not only a deeply considered discussion of two crucial thinkers but carefully and skillfully explains the limits and possibilities in discussion. -- Mike Grimshaw, Canterbury University, New Zealand Author InformationClayton Crockett is associate professor and director of religious studies at the University of Central Arkansas.
