Description
Gilles Deleuze is without question one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Difference and Repetition is a classic work of contemporary philosophy and a key text in Deleuze's oeuvre, a brilliant exposition of the critique of identity that develops two key concepts: pure difference and complex repetition. Deleuze's 'Difference and Repetition': A Reader's Guide offers a concise and accessible introduction to this hugely important and yet notoriously demanding work.
Reviews
"A comprehensive study of Deleuze's most important work. Beautifully written, Hughes' book brings an immense amount of clarity to Difference and Repetition ... this is not only a great introduction to Difference and Repetition, but a great book in its own right." - Leonard Lawlor, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University, USA
