Is Deleuze a Western philosopher? If Deleuzian thought belongs to the tradition of western philosophy, in what sense does the non-West regard Deleuze as a philosopher? Philosophy is equal anywhere on earth. Since Descartes’ ‘discovery’ that the non-West could think, western philosophy could no longer ignore the presence of the non-West, a philosophical otherness in reality. This volume explores Deleuze and the non-West, and includes topics such as the non-Western plane of immanence; the non-Western reception of Deleuze; Deleuze as a philosopher of non-Western ethics; the translation of Deleuze into non-Western languages; geophilosophical studies of Deleuze; and Deleuzian concepts and non-Western philosophy.
