Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus

Brent Adkins is Professor of Philosophy at Roanoke College. He is the author of A Guide to Ethics and Moral Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 2017, Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus: A Critical Introduction and Guide (Edinburgh University Press, 2015), Rethinking Philosophy and Theology with Deleuze: A New Cartography (Bloomsbury, 2013), True Freedom: Spinoza’s Practical Philosophy (Lexington Books, 2009) and Death and Desire in Hegel, Heidegger, and Deleuze (Edinburgh University Press, 2007).

Brent Adkins has provided a great service to scholars, teachers and students with this very clear, precise, and insightful work. I will definitely use it in my courses and have every reason to recommend it to other teachers as well as to professionals looking for an overview of Deleuze and Guattari’s complex and difficult text.
