Deleuze and the Sign presents a concise introduction to Deleuzes semiotics. Expounding upon Deleuzes work on Proust, the author reveals a thoroughly developed theory of the sign that is at the heart of Deleuzes ontology, epistemology, and ethics.Beginning with Deleuzes concept of the sign as a search for truth, the author argues that the sign phenomenon is fundamentally an existential quandary. In turn, our engagement with signs reveals complex effects and affects, alluding to infinite essences within them.In the last chapter, the author demonstrates how Deleuze reconciles his existential semiotics with Spinozas ontology. In this scheme, signs occupy a rather unique place, existing at the threshold between modes and their essences. Searching signs, we merge with these essences so as to infinitely produce the new, in an existential engagement with the very truth and power of substance. Ultimately we discover that Deleuzes semiotics is actually an ethical prescription, wherein he proposes the search of signs as a means of living in accordance with universal truth.Christopher M.
