Essays Critical and Clinical is the final work of the late Gilles Deleuze  one of the most important and vital figures in contemporary philosophy. It includes essays  all newly revised or published here for the first time  on such diverse literary figures as Herman Melville  Walt Whitman  D. H. Lawrence  T. E. Lawrence  Samuel Beckett  Leopold von Sacher-Masoch  Alfred Jarry  and Lewis Carroll  as well as philosophers such as Plato  Spinoza  Kant  Nietzsche  and Heidegger. For Deleuze  every literary work implies a way of living  a form of life  and must be evaluated not only critically but also clinically. As Proust said  great writers invent a new language within language  but in such a way that language in its entirety is pushed to its limit or its own outside. This outside of language is made up of affects and precepts that are not linguistic  but which language alone nonetheless makes possible. In Essays Critical and Clinical  Deleuze is concerned with the delirium-the process of Life-that lies behind this invention  as well as the loss that occurs  the silence that follows  when this delirium becomes a clinical state. Taken together  these eighteen essays present a profoundly new approach to literature by one of the greatest twentieth-century philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665925431349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0816625697","price":34.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780816625697.jpg?v=1782414380","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/essays-critical-and-clinical-9780816625697","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
