Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition: A Critical Introduction and Guide James Williams

This is the first critical introduction to Difference and Repetition, Gilles Deleuze's most important work of philosophy and one of the most significant texts of contemporary philosophy. In offering a critical analysis of Deleuze's methods, principles and arguments, the book enables readers to engage with the revolutionary core of Deleuze's philosophy and take up favourable or critical positions with respect to its most innovative and controversial ideas. The book will also help to extend Deleuze's work to philosophers working in the analytic tradition.

Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition Bewertungen

The task Williams appears to have set himself and a task he seems to have succeeded in is to present Deleuze's work philosophically, warts and all. What this does is enable new readers to approach a key text in modern European philosophy in such a way that they are aware of both the strengths and weakenesses of that work and the opportunities for future engagement with Deleuze. Philosophical Quarterly It is a mark of quality that Williams's book helps the reader to grasp firmly some of the most difficult questions that arise on reading Difference and Repetition![The book] is written in an accessible style and takes a bold and clear interpretative stand in response to the two challenges of illustrating Deleuze's philosophy in relation to our lives and of explaining some of his technical innovations in a critical manner...The book will certainly motivate any reader to study Deleuze. -- Isabella Palin Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology This book is a turning point for those interested in Deleuze that will mean that writing on Deleuze will never be the same ... Williams has produced an exemplary reading of what he rightly calls one of the great philosophical works of the twentieth century ... This book deserves to be called a major event in Deleuze scholarship. -- Iain MacKenzie, Poststructural and Radical Politics Newsletter A major event in Deleuze scholarship. -- John Protevi, Louisiana State University James Williams succeeds in making Deleuze intelligible ! he has performed an invaluable service both to existing readers of Deleuze and to new readers keen to expose themselves to certain vital possibilities of contemporary philosophy and theory in general. This will be the definitive guide to Deleuze's text for many years to come. -- Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick There is no doubt that James Williams's book is a significant contribution to Deleuze scholarship. Williams balances his evident passion for Deleuze with a clear, yet erudite exposition of Deleuzian principles and concerns. The result is a guide to Deleuze's masterwork that is accessible and indeed encouraging to advanced students and to philosophers new to Deleuze, yet which can constitute a valuable aid to research for more committed readers of Deleuze. Journal of Nietzsche Studies
