Deleuze’s readings of Hume, Spinoza, Bergson and Nietzsche respond to philosophical critiques of classical and modern empiricism. However, Deleuze’s arguments against those critiques – by Kant, Hegel, Husserl and Heidegger – consolidate the philosophy of immanence that can be called ‘transcendental empiricism’. Marc Rölli offers us a detailed examination of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of transcendental empiricism. He demonstrates that Deleuze takes up and radicalises the empiricist school of thought developing a systematic alternative to the mainstreams of modern continental philosophy.
Marc Rölli offers not merely a foundational and original account of the work of Gilles Deleuze. With his reconstruction of Deleuze’s 'transcendental empiricism,' he continues – with and beyond Deleuze – one of the grandest adventures in recent philosophy: establishing the source, the power, and the radicality of thinking pure immanence. -- Joseph Vogl, Humboldt University of Berlin and Princeton University
