A fascinating anthology of texts and interviews written over 20
years by renowned French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. "One day,
perhaps, this century will be Deleuzian," Michel Foucault once
wrote. This book anthologizes 40 texts and interviews written over
20 years by renowned French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who died in
1995. The early texts, from 1953-1966 (on Rousseau, Kafka, Jarry,
etc.), belong to literary criticism and announce Deleuze's last
book, Critique and Clinic (1993). But philosophy clearly
predominates in the rest of the book, with sharp appraisals of the
thinkers he always felt indebted to: Spinoza, Bergson. More
surprising is his acknowledgement of Jean-Paul Sartre as his
master. "The new themes, a certain new style, a new aggressive and
polemical way of raising questions," he wrote, "come from Sartre."
But the figure of Nietzsche remains by far the most seminal, and
the presence throughout of his friends and close collaborators,
Felix Guattari and Michel Foucault. The book stops shortly after
the publication of Anti-Oedipus, and presents a kind of genealogy
of Deleuze's thought as well as his attempt to leave philosophy and
connect it to the outside-but, he cautions, as a philosopher.
