Nota wydawnicza:
„In Search of a New Image of Thought is an important and exciting study. As Gregg Lambert points out, the notion of the 'image of thought’ is of crucial importance in Deleuze’s conception of philosophy. Lambert’s approach to the concept via literary examples is ingenious, and as he builds his argument the viability of that approach becornes increasingly persuasive. Lambert’s readings of Deleuze’s works are penetrating.” Ronald Bogue, author of Deleuze’s Way: Essays in Transverse Ethics and Aesthetics
Gregg Lambert demonstrates that since the publication of Proust and Signs in 1964 Gilles Deleuze’s search for a new means of philosophical expression became a central theme of his oeuvre, including those pieces written with psychoanalyst Felix Guattari. Lambert, like Deleuze, calls this „the image of thought.”
Lambert’s exploration begins with Deleuze’s earliest exposition of the Proustian image of thought and then follows the „tangled history” of the image that runs through subsequent works. By connecting the various appearances of the image of thought that permeate Deleuze’s entire corpus, Lambert reveals how thinking first assumes an image, how the images of thought become identified with the problem of expression early in the works, and how this issue turns into a primary motive for the more experimental works of philosophy written with Guattari. The study traces a distinctly modern relationship between philosophy and non-philosophy (literature and cinema especially) that has developed into a hallmark of the term „Deleuzian.” However. Lambert argues, this aspect of the philosopher’s vision has not been fully appreciated in terms of its significance for philosophy: „not only 'for today’ but, to quote Nietzsche, also 'for tomorrow, and for the day after tomorrow.'”
