Natural science has been beset by fundamental puzzles that remain unsolvable within its overly simplistic materialist ontology – the reality of time, the origin of life, the basis for open-ended evolution, the emergence of consciousness. Deleuze and the Immanent Sublime delivers much-needed conceptual tools for envisioning an ontology more aligned with the complexities of contemporary reality

Tom Froese, Assistant Professor, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan

This remarkable and fascinating analysis of Gilles Deleuze's sublime places his profound relationship with the Kant of the Critique of the Power of Judgement both in the context of the great metaphysical dialectics that animate modernity and in the context of the cognitive sciences in neuropsychology and linguistics. It is also an excellent introduction to dynamical structuralism, which schematises Deleuze's theory of structuralism using the dynamical models of morphogenesis developed by René Thom.

This book by Louis Schreel is a hymn to the collective imagination of the 100,000 species

Alessandro Sarti, Director of Research, CNRS-EHESS, Paris, France

Louis Schreel offers an innovative account of Deleuze's continuing engagement with the Kantian account of the sublime science … This book should interest scholars of both Kant and Deleuze.
