Deleuze2008

The Philosophy conference Deleuze2008 takes place on November 7th and 8th.

The conference is an event in the European Capital of Culture 2008: Stavanger, Norway.

The Deleuze2008 conference aims to enquire into the concept of Openness with regard to the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (1925-95).

Keynote speakers are Simon Duffy, Roland Faber, Graham Harman, Christian Kerslake, Daniel W. Smith and James Williams.

 

The theme of the Open is touched upon in many ways throughout the writings of Deleuze. For example, in the early book on Hume there is the externality of relations. In the book on Bergson there is duration understood as the change that is substance, the multiplicity that divides only by changing in kind. Then, in the book on Nietzsche there is the eternal return, determined as the universal being of becoming. Furthermore, in the book on Spinoza there is the claim that substance must be unlimited. In Difference and Repetition there is the issue of reciprocal determination. In that same book, Deleuze also goes out in search of a difference that is not second, a difference that is first, having its own concept. These are all expressions that testify to the vital importance of Openness in Deleuze’s thought.

Shortly then, the intent of this conference is to subordinate the philosophy of Deleuze to the question of the Open in such a way that it reveals something of its essence.
