Manuel De Landa

Manuel De Landa ( born 1952 in Mexico City) is a Mexican writer, artist and philosopher who has lived in New York since 1975.

He was appointed professor at the " Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation " at Columbia University in New York. He also teaches at Canisius College in New York. In addition to the books listed below, he has published numerous articles and essays.

His work revolves around the theories of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the application of these theories to modern science, artificial intelligence and life, economics, architecture, chaos theory, nonlinear science and cellular automata. De Landa was due to his application of Deleuze 's ontology realistic to one of the cult figures of the "new materialism ". His basic research of the " morphogenesis " - the emergence of semi-stable structures out of material flows that define our natural and social world, aroused great interest in various disciplines and subject areas.
