Kant’s Critical Philosophy by Gilles Deleuze

Description

Kant’s Critical Philosophy – Gilles Deleuze In Kant’s Critical Philosophy, Gilles Deleuze provides a concise yet profound interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s three critiques—Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Critique of Judgment. Rather than offering a standard exegesis, Deleuze reinterprets Kant’s work through the lens of difference and time, key themes that would shape his later philosophy. Deleuze argues that Kant’s critical project is fundamentally about the relationship between faculties—understanding, reason, and imagination—showing how they interact in distinct ways across the three critiques. He also highlights Kant’s radical rethinking of time, particularly in how subjectivity is structured through transcendental conditions. By emphasizing the internal tensions and creative potential within Kant’s system, Deleuze lays the groundwork for his own philosophical departure from Kantian transcendentalism. Kant’s Critical Philosophy serves as both an accessible introduction to Kant and a crucial step in Deleuze’s philosophical development.
