Ebook: Immanence and the Vertigo of Philosophy: From Kant to Deleuze

One of the terminological constants in the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze is the work "immanence." His philosophy of immanence is fundamentally characterized by its opposition to all philosophies of "transcendence," and on that basis, Deleuze's project has been premised as a return to a materialist metaphysics. Christian Kerslake argues against this misconception, reassessing Deleuze's relationship to Kantian epistemology and post-Kantian philosophy. He not only translates Deleuze's philosophy to students working within the tradition, but he also reconstructs our idea of the post-Kantian tradition, isolating the influences of Schelling and Wronski and the subsequent advances made by Bergson, Warrain, and Deleuze.
