Signature of the World: 'What is Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy? (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers)
“…fascinating and important…That such a short book contains so many potential points of departure is further testimony to its power, and further reason for it to be recommended to all those interested in contemporary French thought.” –Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, September 2005"Continuum Press is or is near the center of the publication of works by major Continental thinkers: Luce Irigaray, Gilles Deleuze and F&#233;lix Guattari, Henri Lefebrve, Paul Virilio, Michael Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Theodor Adorno...some of its subsidiary series like the 'Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers' series, and the 'Continuum Studies in Continental Philosophy' are where one looks to find the likes of the 'new Heideggerians' or the 'new Deleuzians': those younger philosophers having more recently completed their apprenticeships with the skilled masters and now setting their own philosophical compasses by problems left unsolved or inserted into philosophical futurality by those very teachers. Eric Alliez is among the 'new Deleuzians'. This book follows his enormously influentialCapital Times: Tales from the Conquest of Time(1996)...the specific challenge and the very heart of this book is Alliez' grappling explicitly with the very question of how to 'philosophize' in the wake of Deleuze and Guattari's harsh lessons inWhat is Philosophy?regarding that very question." —Karen Houle,Philosophy in Review“Continuum Press is or is near the center of the publication of works by major Continental thinkers: Luce Irigaray, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Henri Lefebrve, Paul Virilio, Michael Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Theodor Adorno…some of its subsidiary series like the 'Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers’ series, and the 'Continuum Studies in Continental Philosophy’ are where one looks to find the likes of the 'new Heideggerians’ or the 'new Deleuzians’: those younger philosophers having more recently completed their apprenticeships with the skilled masters and now setting their own philosophical compasses by problems left unsolved or inserted into philosophical futurality by those very teachers.
