From the Back Cover
Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy cuts to the heart of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and of today's science wars.
At the start of the 21st Century, Deleuze is now regarded as the most radical and influential of contemporary philosophers. Yet his work is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted. Here Manuel DeLanda does what the growing host of Deleuzians have failed to do - he makes sense of Deleuze for both analytic and continental thought, for both science and philosophy.
DeLanda focuses on the intersection of philosophy and science, explaining how Deleuze's system of thought is fundamental to a proper understanding of contemporary science - from self-organistion to non-linear dynamics to complexity theory.
Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy is written for Deleuzians, for anti-Deleuzians, for philosophers, for anti-philosophers. Quite simply, it will change the way you think.
Manuel DeLanda began his career in experimental film, became a computer artist and programmer and now teaches philosophy at Columbia University. He is author of the bestselling books, `War in the Age of Intelligent Machines' and `A Thousand Years of Non-Linear History'.
