33Gilles Deleuze and MetaphysicsLexington Books. 2014.This collection examines an aspect of Gilles Deleuze’s thought that has largely been neglected; whether or not Deleuze was a metaphysician.

16Spinoza, Our Mutual Friend: Deleuze and Guattari on Living a Philosophical LifeDeleuze and Guattari Studies 16 (2): 190-213. 2021.The essay draws together a number of disparate elements from Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari’s various engagements with Spinoza.

To think philosophically, which following Spinoza D…Read more

From his comments on Baumgarten in the metaphysics lectures, the article shows that for Kant metaphysics in its traditional form lacked completeness and systematic order. Kant fits completeness into his architectonic plan of a scientific metaphy…Read more

1Les événements de Mai as Theory and PracticePhaenex: Journal of Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Culture 4 (2). 2010.The paper reconsiders the events of May 1968 in light of the various attempts to explain and theorize the politics of the student revolution in France. Drawing on contemporary accounts of May '68 as well as historical reflections on the revolution, the paper constructs a historically and politically "horizontal" theory; the structure of the barricades is used as a model for such a political theory. In the Foucauldian and Deleuzian sense of an active form of theory, a "horizontal" approach effect…Read more

24Anxiety and the Voice of Unreason: Reading Foucault with FreudPhaenEx 5 (2): 45-86. 2010.The paper focuses on Michel Foucault's early monograph, Maladie Mentale et Psychologie (1954/62); specifically the focus is on the issue of anxiety, which Foucault treats as central to pathological signification. Through a close reading of the text of Maladie Mentale and a comparison of the work to interpretive trends in French psychoanalytic theory in the 1950s and 1960s, the paper argues that anxiety as a discursive phenomenon overruns psychological discourse as well as Foucault's own theoreti…Read more
