Abstract
This book represents a concerted attempt to think of the various resonances between the philosophy of Deleuze and concepts in the Buddhist philosophical traditions. Although much scholarship has been devoted to an investigation of Deleuze’s philosophy in recent years, the question as to how his philosophy might be connected with other forms of thought such as Buddhism remains largely under-researched or peripheral. Deleuze himself has reminded us that it is usually something on the “outside” that forces us to think. It is my contention that Buddhist philosophy can be such an “outside” and that a dialogue between the two can be productive.
