Deleuze: An Introduction - Todd May

Deleuze: An Introduction - Todd May
Cambridge

This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work
of one of the twentieth century’s most important and elusive thinkers.
Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May
organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze’s
philosophy: how might one live? The author then goes on to explain how
Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways
of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this
approach the full range of Deleuze’s philosophy is covered.
Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May’s
introduction will be widely read among those in philosophy, political
science, cultural studies, and French studies.

Todd May is Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and
Religion at Clemson University in South Carolina.
