A genuine attempt to think differently, Gilles Deleuze's work
challenges, provokes and frustrates. Surprisingly practical as well
as innovative, it is now being seen as a 'must read' for students
and scholars across the humanities and social sciences. Claire
Colebrook's Understanding Deleuze offers a comprehensive and very
accessible introduction to his work. hink differently. It is built
on the notion of an immanent ethics: how can we have a political
and ethical theory without some external foundation such as the
subject or morality? He argues that the only way we can do this is
with a theory of the virtual, and he sees all life (not just
cyberculture) as virtual. Deleuze goes further than Foucault or
Derrida in questioning the boundaries of the subject and knowledge.
For Deleuze perception extends beyond the human, to animals,
machines and microorganisms. Deleuze's writing is challenging and
hard to read, and so far there is no introduction to his work.
Claire Colebrook's primer offers an accessible introduction to the
whole Deleuzian oeuvre, including the work he did with Guattari.
