The Deleuzian Mind

Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. As with other French philosophers of his generation, such as Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, Deleuze’s work and his collaboration with Félix Guattari has also had huge influence in other disciplines, particularly literature, film studies, architecture, and science and mathematics. The Deleuzian Mind is an outstanding collection that explores the full extent and significance of Deleuze's work, its reception and its legacy. Comprising 38 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the volume is divided into eight clear parts: Situating Deleuze A New History of Philosophy. Deleuze’s Precursors Encounters Critical and Clinical The Early Philosophy. A Logic of Sense The Later Philosophy. The Wasp and the Orchid Art and Literature Deleuze, Maths and Science Deleuze and Politics. With its wide-ranging exploration of Deleuze’s thought and the huge influence it continues to have within the theoretical humanities and social sciences, The Deleuzian Mind is invaluable reading for students, researchers and scholars in philosophy, literature, film studies and political theory.
