Symposium Overview:
This symposium will feature a discussion centered on three young researchers of Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari (*), focusing on the problem of law, which Gilles Deleuze (1925–95)—one of the leading figures in contemporary French philosophy after structuralism—discussed in various works throughout his career. Specifically, the discussion is expected to address at least the following three points: (1) What is the substance of the "ethics" that Deleuze presents as opposing "law" and "morality"? (2) What is the relationship between "desire" and "society," and between "desire" and "law," as presented by Deleuze-Guattari? (3) What is the concept of "jurisprudence," the core of Deleuze's philosophy of law, and what positive effects can it have on human life? Following presentations by the presenter and designated discussants and a discussion among them on these points, the commentators will join the discussion. Furthermore, by setting aside time for questions from online participants, we hope to foster a wide-ranging and open discussion that engages not only specialists in Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari studies but also a broader audience.
*Following common practice, the name "Deleuze-Guattari" is used as the author name for the collaborative works written by Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Félix Guattari (1930–92).
