Tony See is currently teaching in the National University of Singapore (NUS). His research interests include philosophy, critical theory and media studies. His current research interest is in exploring theories of subjectivity, with a focus on the intersections between Deleuze's idea of immanence and desire, and its resonances with the idea of Buddha-nature in Mahayana Buddhism. His previous publications include the book Community Without Identity: The Ontology and Politics of Heidegger (2009), and a number of articles such as 'Deleuze and Mahayana Buddhism' (2014), 'Deleuze and Ikeda' (2015) and 'Deleuze, Religion and Education' (2016).
