Deleuze: Political Economy, Materialistic Dialectics, and Speculative Philosophy

This Deep Dive examines a collection of interpretations of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy, aiming to reveal its revolutionary potential beyond common perceptions. It addresses how Deleuze's ideas have been both embraced and critiqued by various contemporary intellectual movements, including Marxist traditions and speculative philosophy. The articles within this collection explore the political significance of Deleuze's thought, his renewal of political economy, and the complex relationship between his philosophy and materialistic dialectics. Ultimately, the issue seeks to reclaim Deleuze's legacy from interpretations that might reduce it to either a cynical justification of the status quo or a mystical escape from reality.
