'Deleuze and Evolutionary Theory' gathers together contributions by
many of the central theorists in Deleuze studies who have led the
way in breaking down the boundaries between philosophical and
biological research. They focus on the significance of Deleuze and
Guattari's engagements with evolutionary theory across the full
range of their work, from the interpretation of Darwin in
'Difference and Repetition', to the symbiotic alliances of wasp and
orchid in 'A Thousand Plateaus'. In this way, they explore the
anthropological, social and biopolitical significance of the
convergences and divergences between philosophy and evolutionary
science.

In 1988 the philosopher Gilles Deleuze remarked that, throughout
his career, he had always been 'circling around' a concept of
nature. Providing critical analysis of his highly original readings
of Stoicism, Aristotle, and Epicurus, this book shows that it is
Deleuze's interpretations of ancient Greek physics that provide the
key to understanding his conception of nature. Using the works of
Aristotle, Plato, Chrysippus, and Epicurus, Michael Bennett traces
the development of Deleuze's key concepts of event, difference, and
problem. Arguing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to fully
understand these ideas without an appreciation of Deleuze's
Hellenistic influences, Deleuze and Ancient Greek Physics situates
his commentaries in the context of contemporary scholarship on
ancient Greek philosophy. Delving into the original Greek and Latin
texts, this book shows that Deleuze's readings are more complex and
controversial than they first appear, simultaneously advancing
Deleuze as a new voice in interpretations of ancient Greek
philosophy. Generating both new critical analyses of Deleuze and a
new appreciation for his classical erudition, Deleuze and Ancient
Greek Physics will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in
ancient Greek philosophy, Deleuze's philosophical project or his
unique methodology in the history of philosophy.
