A Thousand Plateaus and Philosophy

Three of Deleuze and Guattari’s foremost interpreters have assembled a fine and diverse collection of essays from prominent contemporary voices.　 This volume is at once comprehensive and provocative, exploring the many dimensions of one of the twentieth-century’s most vital philosophical texts.　 For those not familiar with A Thousand Plateaus this collection is a great place to start; for those who’ve been reading Deleuze and Guattari for years, this will provide new directions for future reading * Claire Colebrook, Penn State University *
This is a much needed book. Arguably their most important book, A Thousand Plateaus remains to be fully understood. Somers-Hall, Bell, and Williams – important Deleuze and Guattari scholars in their own right – have brought together the best interpreters of Deleuze and Guattari. These interpreters systematically present A Thousand Plateaus plateau by plateau. The reader can examine a single plateau and then consult the corresponding chapter in A Thousand Plateaus and Philosophy. A Thousand Plateaus and Philosophy is not only a major contribution to our understanding of Deleuze and Guattari but also to thought itself. * Leonard Lawlor, Penn State University *
