Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage

Gilles Deleuze's work on the history of philosophy, cinema, painting, literature, and politics has crossed the disciplinary divide in interesting and surprising ways. Pouring over the many and varied sources from which Deleuze framed his innovative concepts, this collection identifies the thinker's most important influences, the significance of which, either as a result of their obscurity or the complexity of their place in the Deleuzean text, has yet to be deeply understood. This volume is indispensable for decoding the context from which Deleuze's ideas emerge and includes essays on the critic's relationship to Marx, Simondon, Lacan, Hegel, Hume, Maimon, Ruyer, Kant, Heidegger, Husserl, Reimann, Leibniz, Bergson, and Freud.
