Description

When students read Difference and Repetition for the first time, they face two main hurdles: the wide range of sources that Deleuze draws upon and his dense writing style. This Edinburgh Philosophical Guide helps students to negotiate these hurdles, taking them through the text step by step. It situates Deleuze within Continental philosophy more broadly and explains why he develops his philosophy in his unique way. Seasoned Deleuzians will also be interested in Somers-Hall's novel interpretation of Difference and Repetition.

Media Reviews

Unless spoon-fed on Deleuze from a very young age, Difference and Repetition is not an easy book to get your head around ... A guide is fairly essential and the best one available in print is written by Henry Somers-Hall as part of the Edinburgh Philosophical Guides series. * Irish Left Review *
I would dearly have loved to have had this book at hand when I first read Difference and Repetition, and when I first taught it too! Its virtues of clarity, concision, and insight mean that experts and novices alike will benefit from it. Highly recommended. -- John Protevi, Phyllis M. Taylor Professor of French Studies, Louisiana State University
