Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus is one of the most inventive works of philosophy of the twentieth century, constructing a sustained argument for the need to develop a new model of thought.
Henry Somers-Hall provides a comprehensive reading of this master work as a philosophical text, drawing on the full range of their engagements within philosophy as well as disciplines such as anthropology, linguistics, political theory, economics, mathematics, musicology, literature and psychoanalysis. By interweaving these engagements into the structure of the argument itself, Somers-Hall shows how the rigorous philosophical core at the heart of the text opens out onto a novel politics of social organisation.
As well as an abundance of new research for those working within the field of philosophy, this book will be invaluable for those working in other disciplines who want to engage with the full force of Deleuze and Guattari’s distinctive approach.
Henry Somers‑Hall is Professor of Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has written extensively on Gilles Deleuze and the broader twentieth‑century French philosophical tradition.
