Logic of Sense cover

A landmark work by Gilles Deleuze, now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.

Logic of Sense is one of Deleuze’s seminal works. First published in 1969, shortly after Difference and Repetition, it prefigures the hybrid style and methods he would use in his later writing with Felix Guattari. In an early review Michel Foucault wrote that Logic of Sense ‘should be read as the boldest and most insolent of metaphysical treatises’.

The book is divided into 34 ‘series’ and five appendices covering a diverse range of topics including, sense, nonsense, event, sexuality, psychoanalysis, paradoxes, schizophrenia, literature and becoming and includes fascinating close textual readings of works by Lewis Carroll, Sigmund Freud, Seneca, Pierre Klossowski, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Émile Zola. Logic of Sense is essential reading for anyone interested in post-war continental thought.

The Logic of Sense should be read as the boldest and most insolent of metaphysical treatises-on the simple condition that instead of denouncing metaphysics as the ne­glect of being, we force it to speak of extrabeing. * Michel Foucault *
