Hamed Movahedi reconstructs a Deleuzian concept of continuity and event through comparative readings of The Fold, Difference and Repetition and Logic of Sense. His analysis of The Fold in dialogue with Leibniz opens a new conceptual space for continuity, one that entails both irreducible heterogeneity and ontological inseparability. This concept, which challenges conventional notions of continuity and discontinuity, discloses its implicit yet decisive presence in Deleuze's philosophy of genesis in Difference and Repetition and the genesis of language in Logic of Sense. Deleuze's story of genesis, preoccupied with the conditions of formation across various fields, is recounted in terms of continuity, which turns out to be a poetics, a prelude to art and politics.
