Political Physics: Deleuze, Derrida and the Body Politic

John Protevi (Department of French Studies, Louisiana State University, USA)

This work crosses the work of two of the most influential thinkers at the start of the 21st Century, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze. The book takes the reader on a transversal journey - employing Derridean analysis of the history of philosophy, Deleuzian creative dialogue and complexity theory - to cross the boundaries of philosophy and science. Derrida’s concern with metaphysics is developed alongside Deleuze’s critique of ‘hylomorphism’ - the doctrine that production is the imposition of order on chaos. The study attempts to opens a new future for philosophy by revealing the way complexity theory shows the order and creativity inherent in matter itself.
