Product Description
Review
"'A rare and remarkable book, which offers us a new metaphysics.' Times Literary Supplement"
Product Description
This book has set the agenda for contemporary Continental philosophy, arguing for a new theory of radical democracy in politics and art. A Thousand Plateaus completes the landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which Deleuze and Guattari began with Anti-Oedipus. Together, the two volumes are widely regarded as the single most brilliant work of Continental philosophy of the last 40 years.

Format:Paperback
A Thousand Plateaus is an absolute necessity for any
serious reader of contemporary philosophy. Deleuze and
Guattari correctly predicted the intensification of the
stratification of "civilized society" by 1980; they also
presaged the World Wide Web and declared their deep
suspicions about any and all massive systems for networking
humankind before the web ever existed. Their anarchic call
for radical individual autonomy never sounded truer than now.
(A noteworthy additional book to seek from their giant
bibliography: Pierre Clastres' Society Against the State.)

This is a profound book. But do not buy this edition. I have had two seperate copies that have had the same fault with the binding, and amazon have confirmed that it is a recurring problem with this edition's manufacture. The edition looks lovely but is of terrible quality.

Format:Paperback
This is a book that challenges traditional philosophy stylistically and conceptually. The creative terminology applied by D & G fits their Nietzschean strand of philosophical thought nicely, even when it becomes difficult to follow at times. Subjects varying from linguistics to psychoanalysis are covered in a refreshingly non-linear order. Together with Anti-Oedipus, this book can inspire.
