The inaugural text in the series is the first English language translation of the near-complete transcription/ lecture notes taken by a student enrolled in the earliest recorded course offered by Gilles Deleuze, What is grounding?
(Qu’est-ce que fonder?). It is here that the history of philosophy is engaged in a direct manner (prior to the “method of dramatization”); that the originating ideas of Difference and Repetition begin to develop; and, that the key to groundbreaking readings of Deleuze is introduced (e.g., Christian Kerslake’s Immanence and the Vertigo of Philosophy: From Kant to Deleuze).
