Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy » (1st Edition)

Delanda (philosophy, Columbia U.) presents the work of contemporary philosopher Gilles Deleuze to analytical philosophers of science and scientists interested in philosophical questions. Such readers may be confused or even offended by his superficial similarity to what has become known as the post-modern tradition, he says, and by his use of such philosophers as Spinoza, Leibniz, Nietzsche, and Bergson. Therefore, he reconstructs Deleuze's thought using entirely different sources and lines of reasoning. This is a paperbound reprint of a 2002 book. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
