Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolves?: Coming to Terms with Deleuze

Abstract

In this chapter, the author narrates his extended encounter with Deleuze, explaining how he went from a fairly sharp mistrust of his philosophy to a place where, as Wittgenstein might have put it, he now no longer sees certain things as problems, but from a standpoint where some of the apparent “problems” were formerly thought to be. The ‘drama’ has roughly four acts.
