What becomes of the sublime today, in a philosophy that discards the
old oppositions between body and mind and embeds human reason in the
creative evolution of life? In this book, Louis Schreel shows how
Gilles Deleuze's life-long engagement with the Kantian sublime
grappled with just this question. Its core argument centres on
Deleuze's understanding of the sublime in terms of psychic
individuation – a creative, self-organizing process that animates
cognitive systems from within. Exploring Deleuze's transcendental
philosophy through central concepts of self-organization, psychic
individuation, passibility and infinity, this book shows how a new
notion of the sublime emerges in a timely and novel way. In this way,
Deleuze and the Immanent Sublime opens up an innovative perspective on
transcendental philosophy, shedding new light on Deleuze's
transcendental empiricism both in relation to Kant and to contemporary
cognitive science. Engagement with previously untranslated writings
from thinkers including Jean Petitot, Gilbert Simondon, Henri Maldiney
and Erwin Straus adds further breadth to the development of Deleuze's
ideas on the sublime in this systematic study.
