Synopsis

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris Viii. He is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. In Dialogues Ii Deleuze examines his philosophical pluralism in a series of discussions with Claire Parnet. Conversational in tone, this is the most personable and accessible of all Deleuze's writings, in which he describes his own philosophical background, relationships and development, and some of the central themes of his work. This second edition includes a new essay, 'The Actual and the Virtual'. Translated by Hugh Tomlinson, Barbara Habberjam and Eliot Ross Albert.

About this title

Review:

'The best introduction to Deleuzian philosophy. A dazzling exposition of Deleuze's concepts and methodologies, of how to think in new ways in order to liberate life wherever it is imprisoned. Written between Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus, Dialogues affirms how a new type of revolution is about to become possible. This new edition includes a new essay, Deleuze's final thoughts, outlining an ontology of the virtual.' Eric Alliez
