177Sartre and the VirtualPhilosophy Today 50 (Supplement): 126-132. 2006.Based on a close reading of Sartre’s essay, The Transcendence of the Ego, this paper shows the importance of Sartre’s arguments against the transcendental ego for the Deleuzian project of restructuring the transcendental field. Sartre formulates four propositions which he takes to be the implications of the rejection of the transcendental ego as found in Kant and Husserl. The paper attempts to show how these propositions are derived, and furthermore how they become reinterpreted by Deleuze into …Read more

20315 Deleuze's philosophical heritage: unity, difference, and onto-theologyIn Daniel W. Smith & Henry Somers-Hall (eds.), The Cambridge companion to Deleuze, Cambridge University Press. 2012.In this paper, I want to look at Deleuze’s philosophical heritage in two different senses.

It situates Deleuze within Continental philosophy more broadly and explains why he develops his philosophy in his unique way. Seasoned Deleuzians will also be interested in Somers-Hall's novel interpretation…Read more

201Deleuze and Merleau-Ponty: The Aesthetics of DifferenceSymposium 10 (1): 213-221. 2006.The purposes of this paper are, first, to show the importance within Deleuze's aesthetics of the notion of the Gestalt, conceived as a figure against a background, and second to show that recognizing the importance of this notion leads to a sympathy for themes in the work of Merleau-Ponty. After showing the motivations for Merleau-Ponty's adoption of the concept of the Gestalt, and its application within Eye and Mind, I wish to show that despite the similarities in their analyses Merleau-Ponty's…Read more
