Abstract

While most new materialists, including Thomas Nail, tend to distance themselves from Deleuze, this essay reads the encounter of Nail's ‘process materialism’ and Deleuzian philosophy as productive rather than contentious. After tracing the affinities of their notions of continuity and discontinuity by way of Deleuze's The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque and Nail's Lucretius I: An Ontology of Motion and Being and Motion, the essay considers Nail's unfolding of Lucretius’ luminous philosophy in relation to Deleuze's reading of Lucretius from within Deleuze's own ‘philosophical luminism’. Within the multiple overlaps between Nail and Deleuze, particularly vis-à-vis quantum physics and quantum field theory, their divergent readings of the particle–wave duality bring about a productive conceptual tension. Nail's argument about the ontological precedence of waves over particles (‘process precedes existence’) is illuminated by Deleuze's concept of their ontological complementarity (actual particles and virtual waves, virtual particles and actual waves), and vice versa.
“在莱布尼茨和卢克莱修的光照下”:德勒兹与新唯物主义的相遇
虽然大多数新唯物主义者,包括托马斯·奈尔,倾向于与德勒兹保持距离,但本文认为奈尔的“过程唯物主义”与德勒兹哲学的相遇是有益的,而不是有争议的。在通过德勒兹的《褶皱:莱布尼茨和巴洛克》和奈尔的《卢克莱修1:运动、存在和运动的本体论》追踪了他们对连续性和非连续性概念的亲切性之后,本文认为奈尔对卢克莱修的发光哲学的展开与德勒兹从德勒兹自己的“哲学发光主义”中对卢克莱修的阅读有关。在奈尔和德勒兹之间的多重重叠中,特别是在-à-vis量子物理学和量子场论中,他们对粒子波二象性的不同解读带来了一种富有成果的概念张力。奈尔关于波的本体论优先于粒子(“过程优先于存在”)的论证被德勒兹关于它们的本体论互补性(实际粒子和虚波,虚粒子和实际波)的概念所阐明,反之亦然。
