Deleuze, Kierkegaard and the Ethics of Selfhood

By Andrew M Jampol-Petzinger

Andrew Jampol-Petzinger pursues Gilles Deleuze's significantly under-discussed interpretation of S ren Kierkegaard. He presents a view of ethics and selfhood that responds to theories of moral judgment and selfhood based on stable, substance-orientated forms of identity. Starting from their common rejection of these categories of moral judgement, and looking at their shared projects of ethics as fundamentally a matter of becoming who one is, Jampol-Petzinger argues for a conception of normativity that privileges ideas of growth and self-overcoming while also recognizing the importance and need for values adequate to leading a liveable life.
