This book addresses the question: what does it mean to say that thinking means creating? One cannot but be grateful and full of admiration for Axel Cherniavsky’s patient, rigorous (‘anexact’) and erudite reconstitution of Deleuze’s notion of the concept. This book helps us to better understand what philosophy means for Deleuze – or even better, what it means for someone inspired by Deleuze, to do philosophy.
