Each book offers: - a summary of the text - an overview of its key ideas - historical context - a guide to further reading and study 'I would dearly have loved to have had this book at hand when I first read Difference and Repetition, and when I first taught it too! Its virtues of clarity, concision, and insight mean that experts and novices alike will benefit from it. Highly recommended.' John Protevi, Phyllis M Taylor Professor of French Studies, Louisiana State University A step-by-step guide to Deleuze's Difference and Repetition Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition is arguably his masterpiece, presenting a sophisticated critique of prior philosophical thought, together with a rich metaphysics of difference.
