This text synthesizes the full range of Deleuze's work. Paul Patton interweaves motifs that extend from his early works, such as "Nietzsche and Philosophy", to the more recent "What is Philosophy?" and his key works such as "Anti-Oedipus" and "Difference and Repetition". Throughout, the book demonstrates Deleuze's relevance to theoretical and practical concerns in a number of disciplines including philosophy, political theory, sociology, history and cultural studies. Paul Patton also presents a treatment of fundamental concepts in Deleuze's work, such as difference, power, desire, multiplicities, nomadism and the war machine, and sets out the importance of Deleuze to poststructuralist political thought. It should be of interest to anyone studying Deleuze and students of philosophy, politics, sociology, literature and cultural studies.
