fascist sentiments resurfacing, we cannot help but question the path to progress.\u003cbr\u003e In his book, “New Conditions of Progress,” philosopher Lee Jeong-woo considers this historical regression not as a simple regression but as a problem of “repetition,” and explores the possibility of subjective practice that creates new differences even within repetition.\u003cbr\u003e To this end, the author, focusing on the philosophical concept of “synthesis of time,” goes beyond how the past repeats itself and asks how progress can be created within that repetition. \u003cbr\u003eThis book, which attempts to rethink progress through the issues of repetition and difference, event and memory, and subjectivation, clearly reveals that progress is not automatically guaranteed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The search for the conditions of progress calls for new ethical and ontological perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e Through the concept of creation called 'becoming,' the author explores how movements such as becoming women, becoming workers, and becoming minorities can become the driving force of progress.\u003cbr\u003e This is a practice of reconfiguring oneself rather than adhering to a given identity.\u003cbr\u003e In the latter part of the book, based on Deleuze's concept of 'multiplicity,' progress is redefined not as the name of a single ideology or unified class, but as a field of creation formed by the connection of heterogeneous flows. \u003cbr\u003eThe author's attempt to fundamentally re-examine the meaning of progress, crossing the boundaries of philosophy and reality, ontology and politics, provides a fresh foundation for thought for all those who perceive today's repetition and seek to envision new arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

unwelcome repetitions, we are forced to think anew about the 'synthesis of time.'\u003cbr\u003e Since life, subject, and history cannot be established apart from the synthesis of time, living beings, especially humans, exist as living beings not as abstract identities, but only when they change their own identities by digesting the various differences that come their way.\u003cbr\u003e Life is ultimately a play of difference and repetition.\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for subjectivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The management society does not exclude others.\u003cbr\u003e Or at least explore strategies and tactics that can avoid exclusion.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes, ‘human rights’ become a weapon for powerful countries, and ‘ethics’ become an indulgence for corporations. \u003cbr\u003eIn this respect, a management society is not a society that excludes or controls others, but a society that manages them.\u003cbr\u003e Managing the typists means preventing the creation of (absolute, in Bergsonian nuance) differences, of becoming a minority.\u003cbr\u003e Although the managerial society appears to be a very dynamically changing society, it is in fact a society that manages others by appropriately distributing differences, and ultimately, it can be said to be a society dominated by strategies and tactics to “defend society” from becoming a minority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What is truth? Truth is the return of reality.\u003cbr\u003e The return of reality is the unavoidable return of life, labor, and the subject against the power that controls and manipulates bodies, money, and symbols.\u003cbr\u003e Through this return, history participates in the eternal return of secondary repetition.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Historical events’ are possible through this return of reality. \u003cbr\u003eAnd at this time, time can become not a blind torrent, but a time imbued with truth and meaning, a time of humanity and history, a time imbued with the intensity of life\/energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.134~135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every place has its own place-strength.\u003cbr\u003e In places of high intensity, dramas of power and desire, of codification\/super-codification and de-codification unfold.\u003cbr\u003e High intensity is always created in places where the desire for power to suppress life\/energy and the desire to liberate it collide.\u003cbr\u003e Historical sites are places of battle where the intensity of life seeking to blossom and the intensity of power seeking to enjoy authority clash.\u003cbr\u003e The act of liberation is also, in a way, an act of creating such a high-intensity place, that is, a place of truth.\u003cbr\u003e Creating a place where reality returns, a place of truth, is an important moment in the historical event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lines that operate through signification stratify and territorialize our lives. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, all stratifications are established on the rhizome.\u003cbr\u003e It is always already the creation of post-signifying leaps.\u003cbr\u003e Stratification brings about a certain signification by coagulating the rhizome.\u003cbr\u003e However, no stratification-latticework can absolutely solidify the rhizome.\u003cbr\u003e Islands of identity mutate on the field of difference production.\u003cbr\u003e So in every stratification—in grids, the escape line is always—there is already a working one.\u003cbr\u003e The lines of signification and the lines of escape are created by referencing each other.\u003cbr\u003e The creation of a new life, a post-signifying life, is possible through this rhizomatic movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Modern people, living in a world where everything is symbolized, encounter symbols rather than people or things.\u003cbr\u003e (…) symbols are grouped into categories and connected into series.\u003cbr\u003e When such a system is established as an unconscious structure, a system of signs, a signifier system, is established. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, when we understand the sign system not as something unconscious-a priori but as something historical-political, it is included as a specific form of a 'sign system'.\u003cbr\u003e This implies a perspective that considers signification and subjectification not as abstract concepts, but as concepts that have been formed and transformed historically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The decisive role of mixed-surface is to deterritorialize realistic arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e The most crucial thing is to identify the peaks of deterritorialization.\u003cbr\u003e (…) In order to transform the arrangement through the mixed surface, it is important to connect the escape lines, change the dotted lines into solid lines, and integrate the processes of deterritorialization.\u003cbr\u003e The escape lines are constantly being cut off, recaptured, and worn out.\u003cbr\u003e It is crucial to continue the escape routes, and the possibility of doing so is based on the principle of mixed-surface = life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.285~286\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e‘Becoming-minority’ is established when the problem of becoming takes on a distinct ethical-political context.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the ethics of becoming-other takes the form of the politics of becoming-minority.\u003cbr\u003e The politics of becoming-minority is neither a politics 'of' minorities nor a politics 'for' minorities.\u003cbr\u003e The politics of minorities is a politics that presupposes the molar identity of minorities.\u003cbr\u003e However, politics based solely on the molar identity of minorities inevitably has fundamental limitations.\u003cbr\u003e In this case, minorities are simply minorities and are not trying to become minorities.\u003cbr\u003e There is no need to talk about politics based on the molten identity of the majority.\u003cbr\u003e They say they are 'for the minority', but in the end, they are just some kind of molar identity and do not act as if they were a minority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.312\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat is the relationship between the fact that all becomings are first molecular becomings and that all becomings are first minority becomings? Connecting these two becomings is connecting the ontology of becoming and the ethics of becoming.\u003cbr\u003e We can say that when 'molecular difference-making' takes an ethical direction, it soon moves towards 'becoming a minority.'\u003cbr\u003e Molecular difference formation is the ontological basis of minority-becoming, and minority-becoming is the value that allows molecular difference formation to take on an ethical character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Deleuze, a phenomenon is explained through a process of actualization that proceeds from the dimension of potentiality that is continuous with it, which can be said to be an attempt at an immanent explanation of the world.\u003cbr\u003e This spirit of immanence is the basic spirit that continues through Riemann, Bergson, and Deleuze, although the contexts are different. \u003cbr\u003e(…) The Riemannian manifold, which returns to the flat (curvature = 0) Euclidian space through dimensional descent from an n-dimensional manifold; Bergson’s qualitative manifold, which ultimately returns to matter through dimensional descent from the continuity, heterogeneity, and creativity of life; and Deleuze’s potential manifold, which progresses in layers through the generation of higher qualities through the mutual determination of secondary elements and reaches reality in the final layer, clearly reveal the connection between the three.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

Perspective of Becoming and Deployment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Repetition is not a repetition of the past.\u003cbr\u003e Asking the Path to Progress in a Repeating History with Differences\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"New Conditions of Progress\" begins with the fundamental questions posed by philosopher Lee Jeong-woo in the face of the resurgent sense of deja vu and regression that emerged after 2008.\u003cbr\u003e The trajectory of progress that had been taken for granted after democratization was replaced at some point by the specter of developmental dictatorship and the simulacrum of fascism, and we once again witnessed familiar scenes.\u003cbr\u003e The author considers this not as a simple regression but as a problem of 'repetition', and extends Marxist thought to Deleuzian philosophy to revisit the possibility of progress on the basis of the ontology of 'repetition with difference'.\u003cbr\u003e Progress is not automatically guaranteed in linear time, but can only emerge within the directionality of differences that arise within the field of repetition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 of this book serves as an introduction and central axis for thinking about the ontological foundations of this progress, presenting the concept of 'synthesis of time' as a key link. \u003cbr\u003eTime does not simply flow; it takes on a completely different structure depending on how the subject synthesizes and serializes repetitive events.\u003cbr\u003e Progress is not simply a repetition of the past, but rather a flow of creation that is formed with the possibility of new subjectivation.\u003cbr\u003e This book rethinks progress not as an ideology but as a structure and practice through repetition and difference, event and subject, and the politics of memory.\u003cbr\u003e Progress is still possible, but only among subjects who can perceive repetition and arrange it differently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThere is no progress without becoming.\u003cbr\u003e The return of reality created by the ethics of becoming and the arrangement of events\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Part 2 of the book, “Ethics of Becoming Other,” Lee Jeong-woo constructs an ontology of progress through the concept of “becoming.”\u003cbr\u003e Becoming a woman, becoming a worker, becoming a minority. \u003cbr\u003eThis is not a politics of identity, but a movement of creation that escapes the system of identity.\u003cbr\u003e Minorities are not an innate condition, but rather a subject who throws themselves into the flow of creation.\u003cbr\u003e Progress can only come about through this ethics of becoming and the serialization of events.\u003cbr\u003e Becoming is closely connected with the return of reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reality always returns, breaking through the existing arrangement of meaning, and a new subject is formed in the place where it is perceived and serialized.\u003cbr\u003e This book defines progress as a real 'truth-event' that returns from the opposite side of ideology, and emphasizes the importance of becoming as an ethical-political practice that overturns existing structures of reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e The subject is not born within the structure of the majority, but is a being that reshapes itself through becoming the other.\u003cbr\u003e Progress is possible only through this repetition of becoming, this repetition of creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRewriting the Ontology of Progress\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Philosophy of Manifolds and the Final Turn of Thought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The final chapter of the book, “What is a Manifold?”, adds ontological depth to “New Conditions of Progress.”\u003cbr\u003e The author thinks about progress again from the perspective of ontology, focusing on the concept of 'multiplicite', which is the essence of Deleuze's philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e Manifoldness is not a simple plurality, but an ontological structure in which inherent differences and flows form a single field within a heterogeneous composition.\u003cbr\u003e This book, through Bergson, Riemann, Deleuze, and Badiou, organizes the physical, mathematical, and philosophical meanings of the concept of multiplicity, and shows how it connects with the concepts of becoming, event, and assemblage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through this, the reader learns that progress is not a single ideology or class unity, but rather a diverse field formed by the interconnection of different currents. \u003cbr\u003eIn it, becoming and difference, repetition and arrangement are intertwined to form a map of creation.\u003cbr\u003e Progress is established only on the politics of the many rather than the one, on the ethics of difference rather than identity, and on the ontology of creation rather than staticity.\u003cbr\u003e Philosopher Lee Jeong-woo's \"New Conditions of Progress\" explores this diversity of philosophy, making us reconsider progress not as a past ideology to be simply restored or inherited, but as a task to be reconstructed in the here and now.\u003cbr\u003e In the dynamics of repetition and difference, of becoming and arrangement, progress is still possible, and the very conditions of that possibility are before us.
