Against Continuity is the first book to demonstrate that the beating heart of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy is a systematic ontology of irreducible, singular entities. This requires a radical break with decades of Deleuzian orthodoxy, according to which Deleuze's metaphysics revolves around the dissolution of discrete entities into a continuous world of flows and events.
Arjen Kleinherenbrink takes readers through a close reading of the major concepts and arguments in Deleuze's published works and unpublished seminars. He shows why the usual interpretation of Deleuze as a process philosopher does not stand up to scrutiny, and carefully reconstructs Deleuze's actual but, until now, overlooked ontology. Kleinherenbrink also critically compares key elements of this ontology to seven related contemporary thinkers: Levi Bryant, Maurizio Ferraris, Markus Gabriel, Manuel DeLanda, Graham Harman, Tristan Garcia and Bruno Latour. These comparisons establish Deleuze as an important precursor to object-oriented speculative realism and open up exciting new avenues of thought for critics as well as supporters of Deleuze
