Reidar Due offers an entirely new interpretation of Deleuze′s philosophy, centred around the notion of thought as a capacity to form relations. These relations are embodied in nature, in language and in the unconscious; in art, science and social practice. With this concept of embodied thought, Deleuze challenges our most entrenched beliefs about the self and about signs whether linguistic or social. He develops an original theory of power and social systems and presents a method for understanding any signifying practice, from language and ritual to the unconscious, including cinema, literature and painting.
Due analyses the different strands in this theoretical edifice and shows its implications for a wide range of human sciences, from history and psychology to political theory and cultural studies.

"Readers new to Deleuze will find this a highly instructive and superior introduction. Reidar Due succeeds in guiding the reader through Deleuze s project and its attempt to transform how we think. The book is essential reading for students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences who are seeking new directions for thought."
Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick
