By engaging with the work of modern and contemporary philosophers and writers, in particular G. W. Leibniz, Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Ranciere and Marcel Proust, Rok Ben?in proposes a new understanding of these worlds as overlapping transcendental frameworks consisting of fictional structures that frame ontological multiplicity. Examining political conflicts and aesthetic interferences that exist between divergent worlds today, he reconsiders the way political and artistic practices reconfigure contemporary experiences of worldliness.By engaging with the work of modern and contemporary philosophers and writers, in particular G.

"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." - Antonia Birnbaum, University of Applied Arts, Vienna
