Covering the last twenty years of Gilles
Deleuze's life (1975-1995), the texts and interviews gathered
in this volume complete those collected in Desert Islands
(1953-1974) . This period saw the publication of his
major works : A Thousand Plateaus (1980) Cinema
I: Image-Movement (1983), Cinema II: Image-Time (1985),
all leading through language, concept and art to What
is Philosophy? (1991). It also documents Deleuze's
increasing involvement with politics (Toni Negri, terrorism,
etc.). Both volumes were conceived by the author himself
and will be his last. Michel Foucault famously wrote: "One
day, perhaps, this century will be Deleuzian." This book
provide a prodigious entry into the work of the most important
philosopher of our time. Unlike Michel Foucault, Deleuze
never stopped digging further into the same furrow. Concepts
for him came from life. He was a vitalist and remained
one to the last.
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) has published twenty-five bookCovers,
including five in collaboration with Felix Guattari: Anti-Oedipus , Kafka:
Toward a Minor Literature , One Thousand Plateaus ,
and What is Philosophy ? |
