This monograph synthesizes Deleuze and Confucianism for a novel account of the good life at the dawn of a new epoch of power: control. It engages in both a broad survey of work on the current techno-political situation, while providing a response through an in depth analysis of Deleuze and Xunzi. It builds on and enters into debates in the secondary literature on both figures as well as on Foucault, Levinas, and Mozi, along with contemporary scholars of philosophy of technology, such as Shannon Vallor, Shoshana Zuboff, Bernard Stiegler, and Patrick Gamez. It appeals to students and researchers working with these thinkers as well as on the ethics and politics of technology, Confucianism, Mohism, and comparative philosophy generally.
