Opis

Gilles Deleuze wrote that ‘immanence can be said to be the burning issue of all philosophy. It engulfs sages and gods’. This collection assesses the implications of Deleuze’s claim in relation to the equally potent question of materialism. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.
