First published in 1997, Alain Badious Deleuze: The Clamor of Being cast Gilles Deleuze as a secret philosopher of the One. In this work, Clayton Crockett rehabilitates Deleuzes position within contemporary political and philosophical thought, advancing an original reading of the thinkers major works and a constructive conception of his philosophical ontology. Through close readings of Deleuzes Difference and Repetition, Capitalism and Schizophrenia (with Felix Guattari), and Cinema 2, Crockett argues that Deleuze is anything but the austere, quietistic, and aristocratic intellectual Badiou had portrayed. Instead, Crockett underscores Deleuzes radical aesthetics and innovative scientific, political, and mathematical forms of thought. He also refutes the notion Deleuze retreated from politics toward the end of his life. Using Badious critique as a foil, Crockett maintains the profound continuity of Deleuzes work and builds a general interpretation of his more obscure formulations.
