The fold : Leibniz and the Baroque

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. In "The Fold" Deleuze proposes a radical way of understanding philosophy and art. Leibniz drew on the art of the baroque period in his invention of the concept of the fold; Deleuze develops the concept further to present a way of practising philosophy based upon the fold as the relationship of difference with itself
