Description: An exciting new way of thinking about history: as an ontological force of creativity. Deleuze's philosophy of history occupies an ambiguous position in his greater oeuvre. As a philosopher of difference and creativity, Deleuze often contrasts the productive process of becoming with the constricting and representational nature of history. Historical examples and interpretations, however, are repeatedly suggested and drawn upon by Deleuze throughout the construction of his philosophy. This book responds to this problematic by demonstrating how Deleuze's philosophy provides us with a novel and important notion of historical creativity.
