Gilles Deleuze

"A simply first-rate collection, notable for the sheer excellence of the essays, the wide range of topics covered, and the distinction of its contributors. Boundas has once again made a signal contribution to Deleuze studies." - Professor Kenneth Surin, Duke University, USA "A superb collection destined to be a key intervention in the burgeoning field of Deleuze Studies. One of very few works that gives focused attention to the specifically philosophical dimension of Deleuze's work." - Ian Buchanan, Cardiff University, UK The book succeeds in linking the diverse fields of Deleuze's thought to the intensive, proving a worthwhile contribution to the elucidation and extension of his work.' -- Perspectives: International Postgraduate Journal of Philosophy
