Deleuze and Evolutionary Theory' gathers together contributions by many of the central theorists in Deleuze studies who have led the way in breaking down the boundaries between philosophical and biological research. They focus on the significance of Deleuze and Guattari’s engagements with evolutionary theory across the full range of their work, from the interpretation of Darwin in 'Difference and Repetition', to the symbiotic alliances of wasp and orchid in 'A Thousand Plateaus'. In this way, they explore the anthropological, social and biopolitical significance of the convergences and divergences between philosophy and evolutionary science.

Why read Bergson now? And why as a philosopher of biology in particular? On the one hand, we are in the midst of a return to Bergson, a revival of interest in his work, and even a full-blown Bergson renaissance. Tano S. Posteraro contributes to this increasingly serious study of Bergson's philosophy with a tight focus on Bergson's theory of evolution. Moreover, he presents an alternative Bergson, not as a phenomenologist whose central datum is the conscious experience of lived time or the lived body in time, but rather as a systematic philosopher of biology with a robust, prescient and largely workable evolutionary programme. The result is a Bergson for the biology of today.

Posteraro contributes to this increasingly serious study of Bergson's philosophy with a tight focus on Bergson's theory of evolution.
