How Deleuze “Folded Leibniz in Half”

One could say Deleuze decided to “fold Leibniz in half.” But as he folded him once, he had to fold him again, over and over again, until each fold produced more folds. The infinite crimping, which the Leibnizian rationalist system should have been very susceptible to, suddenly produced as many neat folds as it gave birth to crumpled corners and numerous productive contradictions. And as the folds and creases accumulated, the more difficult it became to tell the difference between the inside and the outside of the surface. Resulting in a monstrous creation: the Fold.
