Description

In "The Fold," Gilles Deleuze argues that the works of Leibniz form the foundation of Baroque philosophy, as well as the theories that analyze modern art and science.

The concept of the fold, a model of expression for modern aesthetics, is approached as a folding of space, movement, and time. Additionally, the world is interpreted as a 'body' of infinite folds and surfaces, which twist and intertwine through compressed time and space.

Deleuze contends that Leibniz, among other things, was the precursor to modern views on event and history, seen as multi-layered combinations of points in motion, as well as the theory that the 'modern' subject is constantly in the process of becoming.

To discover a modern neo-Baroque, one only needs to follow the history of infinite folding in all the arts: 'fold upon fold,' with the poetry of Mallarmé and the novel of Proust, as well as the work of Misse, the music of Boulez, and the painting of Hantai. This neo-Leibnizianism continues to inspire philosophy.
