Gilles Deleuze and Metaphysics

This collection examines an aspect of Gilles Deleuze's thought that has largely been neglected; whether or not Deleuze was a metaphysician. Answering this question may reveal the problematic nature of so-called postmodernism and the critique it leveled at the first philosophy, and it may help readers to better understand philosophy's fate.
