Summary
Gilles Deleuze, Claire Parnet: Dialogues
The book Dialogues by Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet saw the light of day because behind it stands one of the most exciting philosophical creations of the twentieth century, the work of Gilles Deleuze. A melody in two voices (it is not known to whom which part belongs), a cross section of at least two perspectives (it is not possible to clearly distinguish from where and who is speaking), an interweaving of texts (it is not known who is the author of which passage), a map of ideas (Deleuze's), a tangle of narrow passages and a labyrinth. This book can be read as philosophical poetry (for the sensitive), as a dislocated guide through Deleuze's philosophy, as an exciting philosophical-literary experiment, or the reader can simply surrender to the linguistic flood and read the text in one breath. Maybe we won't understand something, but even Marx did not understand Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit in the first reading, so he still wrote (roughly): "I don't understand anything, but it's wonderful, like the noise made by the waves hitting the rocks!". The same applies to this book.
