Considered one of the most important works of one of France's foremost philosophers, and long-awaited in English, The Logic of Sense begins with an extended exegesis of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Considering stoicism, language, games, sexuality, schizophrenia, and literature, Deleuze determines the status of meaning and meaninglessness, and seeks the 'place' where sense and nonsense collide.

Written in an innovative form and witty style, The Logic of Sense is an essay in literary and psychoanalytic theory as well as philosophy, and helps to illuminate such works as Anti-Oedipus.

    5.0 out of 5 stars the epistemology of "non-sense"
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    in 1994, we were introduced to Deleuze's "difference and repetition", which gave us his basic system of thought and concluded with a hint of divulging his epistemology. Our positing of difference in the "Spatium" was to follow an epistemology of the triad of
    "bodies - sense - event", which led to the manifestation of the incorporeal. This earlier volume from Columbia univ. press gives us the epistemology in detail. He concentrates on the 3rd moment of "event" and the "logic of sense", as the title announces. He presents an extremely detailed account of : manifestation of the singularity along the line of "past-future" on the surface of external bodies; next , signification as the"ideal-game", for which he lists "8" aspects. Then 3rd, he articulates abstraction along the "border-of-sense", as that creative frontier where our "rebel-element" emerges that stretches the present. Finally he addresses what many might miss: an actual doctrine of Hegel's "counter-blow". He calls it keeping concepts "liquid" and preventing them from the rigidity that is imposed by the "schizophrenic -self". This liquidity is presented as a triad of: word-passion / word-action / word-aesthetic (my rendition for this 3rd moment). The amount of information here is staggering. He is tough to completely assimilate. But take your time; conquer questions immediately before moving on. I did this with his 1994 book; and then this one was much more accessible. Deleuze offers real transcendence for post-moderns; but it is a "produced" transcendence. After completing this volume you should have a firm grasp on his thought. 5 stars of course.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2014

    The Logic of Sense (LOS) cries out to be interpreted from the end to the beginning, since the Thirty-Fourth Series is the culmination of all the previous Thirty-Three.

    Therefore to summarize the meaning of the Event, best accompanied by humor rather than by irony or satire, is to express how the resonance of original Depth (Freudian Id) of the body and mouth, first by Eros (libidinized) and then by Thanatos (desexualized), become projected onto the shining metaphysical surface via sublimation, thinking and language, into the expressed, the Result. The created is the result of the creating and vice versa. Also "series" represents his concept of difference which is founded on multiplicity (series of more than one) as Univocity of Being, versus the Same or oneness which would yield the Equivocity of Being. It takes the first part of the book to catch up with this finale.

    Logic of Sense came shortly after Difference and Repetition (DR), and the difference is remarkable. While DR is much more of an attempt to express concepts, LOS takes on the limits of the ability to express sense, using paradox and Lewis Carroll's fantasy use of language to express his philosophy of difference. It is very demanding of the reader and it helps to have supportive secondary sources such as James Williams' Gilles Deleuze's Logic of Sense: A Critical Introduction and Guide--(read this one first), and Sean Bowden's The Priority of Events: Deleuze's Logic of Sense (Plateaus -- New Directions in Deleuze Studies).

    4.0 out of 5 stars Post structuralist, post linguistic, post semiotic...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2003
    Logic of sense is a very difficult book to get in toto. I'm not sure that it's even meant to be read that way. The book is arranged in a series of paradoxes that each take on a concept or problematic through which Deleuze undoes the hermeneutics of "meaning" in order to replace it with one built around "sense." What makes this book rewarding is its importance to an understanding of expression and imagination in Anti-Oedipus, and various images and signs in his two cinema books. But it almost takes having read his books on Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bergson first to get the most out of Deleuze's strange and non-subjective ideas of sense and event. I will agree with the reviewer above that the book leans hard on the Stoics, but to stop there would be to miss Deleuze's project here. He wants to create a logic that establishes sense neither in speech nor in language, neither in sign systems nor in structures. He wants to place the production of sense in a philosophy that has restored its grasp of movement and becoming, has shaken its dogmatic belief in concepts and abstractions, and that creates and affirms through virtual qualities and events that, while communicating in fact and through the repetition of the familiar (order), still relate to and express pure qualities. This is really the companion piece to the cinema books but on literature. I don't know that his theory of sense carries well to performance and social convention. Which is frustrating, because we need a some good theories of social convention and language that can take us past linguistics and speech act theories. This is a fantastic book and one of his most inventive.
