What does it mean to inhabit not a world, but a multiplicity of worlds, how do their scissions and proliferations constitute the contemporary predicament? Rok Bencin's book, taking its cue from Leibniz, explores this multiplicity through the works of Deleuze, Badiou, Proust, Rancière, confronts their thresholds and overlappings, both in their aesthetic, ontological, and political dimensions. It states anew, with a strong conceptual grip, what has been spared out both by the disqualification of the world by the infinity of science or by its equation with the innate loss of a unified cosmos: the discontinous frameworks our reality is made of.
