A LÓGICA DA DIFERENÇA

Virtual Mathematics: The Logic of Difference
Simon Duffy (Editor), Paul Patton (Editor)
These essays examine the work of Gilles Deleuze, in particular his practice of enlisting mathematical resources to underpin and inform a wide variety of philosophical positions. Deleuze's work serves as a focus in these pieces for alternative conceptual lineages and as a rich source for fashioning mathematical concepts as tools for understanding a world seen in terms of becoming and difference.With contributions from Alain Badiou, Manuel DeLanda, Gilles ChGtelet, and Daniel Smith, this analytic review challenges the self-imposed limits of philosophy while it elucidates a host of connections between mathematics and philosophy.
Simon Duffy is a research assistant at the University of Sydney. Paul Patton is the author of Deleuze and the Political and Deleuze: A Critical Reader and the translator for Deleuze's Difference and Repetition. He is a professor of philosophy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
