Summary:

Examines Deleuze's psychoanalytic and philosophical engagement with the Lacanian School.<p>Guillaume Collett questions to what extent we can locate Deleuze within the Lacanian School during the late-1960s, prior to Guattari. In so doing, he offers a new, integrated reading of Deleuze's <em>The Logic of Sense</em> (1969) by understanding it as a 'psychoanalysis of sense', and gives a new interpretation of Deleuze's conception of philosophy itself.</p><p><em>The Psychoanalysis of Sense</em> shows that Deleuze was not merely aware of the debates animating the Lacanian School during the 1960s: he sought to contribute to them. Emphasising his appropriation of the work of post-Lacanian Serge Leclaire, Collett shows how Deleuze constructed a more singular and immanent theory of the linguistic structure of the unconscious - granting the erogenous body a larger structuring role. </p>Key Features<ul><li>The first book devoted to situating Deleuze's 1960s work on psychoanalysis within the context of the Lacanian School</li><li>Shows how Deleuze drew on Lewis Carroll and Sacher-Masoch to immanentise the work of the Lacanian School</li><li>Develops a new reading of The Logic of Sense by viewing it as a meta-philosophical precursor to What is Philosophy?</li></ul>
