The Deleuzian Revolution: Ten Innovations in Difference and Repetition
Difference and Repetition might be said to have brought about a Deleuzian Revolution in philosophy comparable to Kantâs Copernican Revolution. Kant had denounced the three great terminal points of traditional metaphysics â self, world and God â as transcendent illusions, and Deleuze pushes Kantâs revolution to its limit by positing a transcendental field that excludes the coherence of the self, world and God in favour of an immanent and differential plane of impersonal individuations and pre-individual singularities. In the process, he introduces numerous conceptual innovations into philosophy: the becoming of concepts; a transformation of the form of the question; an insistence that philosophy must start in the middle; an attempt to think in terms of multiplicities; the development of a new logic and a new metaphysics based on a concept of difference; a new conception of space as intensive rather than extensive; a conception of time as a pure and empty form; and an understanding of philosophy as a system in heterogenesis â that is, a system that entails a perpetual genesis of the heterogeneous, an incessant production of the new.

OntoBrowse: A World of Knowledge
This paper describes the creation and function of OntoBrowse, a domain-independent ontology browser system that was developed to provide generic access to any triplestore ontology without the need to create a bespoke interface. It features support for accessing multiple triplestores in one query session, bookmarks, Rendezvous sharing of bookmarks, multiple tabs, multiple windows, namespace caching and automatic generation of RDQL queries. OntoBrowse automatically loads images when referenced by URI and has a fully customisable user interface. In addition, the CIA World Factbook was asserted into a triplestore in order to gain a conceptual understanding of knowledge systems and for use as a controllable testing ground for the ontology browser
Logic and Existence: Deleuze on the âConditions of the Realâ
Logique et existenceDeleuze Ă propos des « conditions du rĂ©el »Pour Deleuze, lâun des problĂšmes fondamentaux dâune thĂ©orie de la pensĂ©e est de savoir comment la pensĂ©e peut quitter la sphĂšre du possible pour penser le rĂ©el, câest-Ă dire pour penser lâexistence elle-mĂȘme. La position du rĂ©el semble ĂȘtre hors du concept. Des prĂ©-kantiens comme Leibniz approchaient ce problĂšme par le biais de la distinction entre vĂ©ritĂ©s dâessence et vĂ©ritĂ©s dâexistence, alors que des post-kantiens comme Maimon lâapprochaient par la distinction entre les conditions de lâexpĂ©rience possible et celles de lâexpĂ©rience rĂ©elle. La logique classique dĂ©finit la sphĂšre du possible par trois principes logiques â lâidentitĂ©, la non-contradiction et le tiers-exclu â et la prĂ©sente Ă©tude examine les trois grandes trajectoires qui, dans cette histoire de la philosophie, ont tentĂ© dâutiliser lâun de ces trois principes classiques pour pĂ©nĂ©trer lâexistence ellemĂȘme : 1) Leibniz cherchait Ă Ă©tendre le principe de dâidentitĂ© Ă lâexistence entiĂšre ; 2) Hegel cherchait Ă Ă©tendre le principe de non-contradiction Ă la totalitĂ© de lâexpĂ©rience ; et 3) le groupe des penseurs appelĂ©s de maniĂšre assez large « existentialistes » cherchait Ă Ă©tendre le principe du tiers-exclu Ă la totalitĂ© de lâexistence. La conclusion examine les raisons pour lesquelles Deleuze a Ă©tĂ© fascinĂ© par chacune de ces tentatives philosophiques pour « penser lâexistence », tout en pensant nĂ©anmoins quâelles ont toutes Ă©chouĂ© ; et pourquoi aussi il a fini par dĂ©velopper sa propre rĂ©ponse au problĂšme en faisant appel Ă un principe de diffĂ©rence.Logica e EsistenzaLe âCondizioni del realeâ in DeleuzePer Deleuze, uno dei problemi fondamentali per una teoria del pensiero Ăš: come puĂČ il pensiero abbandonare la sfera del possibile per pensare il reale, ossia, pensare lâesistenza stessa? La posizione del reale sembra essere fuori dal concetto. Prekantiani come Leibniz affrontano questo problema in termini di distinzione fra veritĂ dellâessenza e veritĂ dellâesistenza, mentre post-kantiani come Maimon affrontano il problema in termini di distinzione fra condizioni dellâesperienza possibile e condizioni dellâesperienza reale. La logica classica ha definito la sfera del possibile secondo tre principi logici â identitĂ , non-contraddizione, terzo escluso â e questo saggio analizza tre grandi âparaboleâ della storia della filosofia che hanno tentato di usare uno di questi tre principi della logica per penetrare lâesistenza stessa: Leibniz hanno tentato di estendere il principio di identitĂ a tutta lâesistenza; Hegel hanno tentato di estendere il principio di non-contraddizione a tutta lâesistenza; il gruppo di pensatori chiamati âesistenzialistiâ ha tentato di estendere il principio del terzo escluso allâesistenza. La conclusione analizza sia le ragioni per le quali Deleuze era affascinato da ciascuno di questi tentativi filosofici di âpensare lâesistenzaâ nonostante fosse convinto che essi avessero fallito, sia i motivi per cui egli in conclusione traccia la propria risposta al problema facendo appello al principio della differenz
There Goes the Neighborhood: The Effect of Single-Family Mortgage Foreclosures on Property Values
This report shows that foreclosures have a significant negative effect on neighborhood property values. Although foreclosures have long been considered a problem associated with FHA loan programs, recent research has shown that the explosion in foreclosures that began in the 1990s was primarily driven by the growth of high-risk, conventional subprime lending
