Барок или постмодерност. Между Лайбниц и Дельоз
Baroque or Postmodernism. Between Leibniz and Deleuze

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to translate adequately into Bulgarian my more or less essayistic interpretation (originally written in German (1988)) of Deleuze's book Le pli. Leibniz et le Baroque. The problem of the relevant translation and the multilingualism of my approach to the book can in itself already be regarded as a kind of philosophical reflection insofar as the invention of new terms, according to Deleuze, already represents a philosophical practice. My text concentrates on the French term pli (fold), which Deleuze first discovers in his reading of Leibniz's Monadology and then uses to define Baroque mentality in general. This term also becomes synonymous with monad or subject in the same sense as Deleuze understands it – namely, as a difference.Parallel to my analysis of Deleuze's book, references are also made to other texts and authors who have explicitly dealt with the Baroque period, which helps me to define his philosophy and aesthetics precisely as proto-postmodern.
